Did anyone see kids in crisis Panorama?

I'm sure one of the Mothers and her child had a goitre. Another child suffering with psychosis was constantly cold. I wondered if anyone else thought this, that they had thyroid problems?

I didn't see the programme but I am sure you have observed correctly ! Just a shame that many Docs have lost their powers of observation in favour of the computer screen and those "normal" results .

I think it would upset me to watch but I am usre hypothyroidism is relevent to a lot of mental health issues in both children and adults and the stress children are experiancing at the hands of schools, doctors, air pollution and technology over whelm is triggering hypothyroidism in vast numbers.n Did I imagine it but are chemist selling silicone drops to aleviate tummy grips in babys now. How are those poor babs going to fare.

Everytime I turn on the tv or even walking down the street, or waiting at the school gates, there is someone who has clearly got thyroid issues. It is so frustrating that even if I said something they would rather listen to the "your blood tests are normal" rubbish. I met up with an old friend who said she often felt suicidal. I asked if she had her thyroid tested she said her tsh was 7. I told her that wasn't normal. The look she gave me was that I was a rebel without a clue and Dr knows best. I get that look a lot. But it is better to say something than nothing I suppose but It is so draining when nobody gets it.

I know how you feel I get it all the time eyes glazing over if you try to tell them. Drives me mad.
