Hi jeppy I can only speak for myself I definitely get brain fog , anxiety and depression especially when I'm not optimally medicated and also when B12 was low.
You're certainly not offending I agree with Raventhorpe's reply. When optimally medicated I don't have brain fog, anxiety and depression, but when under medicated I do.
These are common symptoms with hypothyroidism and could be a sign of being on the wrong dose (usually under-medicated) and also vitamin/mineral deficiencies.
Do you have recent thyroid tests? How about vitamin B12, D, ferritin, folate? If so you could post the results here and maybe we can help you get to the bottom of this.
(It All could be seen as chicken and egg maybe, as the comment about young ones getting hypo too ..... no they haven't an 'aged gland'. but are their adrenals burnt out?
If you are right, that not all anxious folk have the problem, but if they too were left with the stuck button on when stressed, they might do?
Some download stress easier I'm sure, e.g. Having someone to talk to is the first call, not everyone has this, I don't for sure I put a face on for my big 'kids'.
Ps. Stress affects health one way or another for sure, my overload came after a rediculous stressful job (I went home each night and literally curled up in a ball for 2 hours, or was this thyroid haha?? And then I piled on weight. Overloaded
