I'm desperately hunting for a specialist in the UK that is both a Psychiatrist and has is knowledgeable about Graves disease. I'd be so grateful for any recommendations!

Hi. Could I politely suggest looking for a psychologist who deals with medical issues. When you look up a person online they usually have what they specialise/deal with. My psychologist deals with lots of issues. I would ask your gp to see if he has any referrals or if u don’t want him to know google psychologists in your area. It’s trial and error. It’s about making a connection. When you look online you can always email them and confirm they know about Graves. Sorry I’m not more help.

As we can't discuss individual doctors on the forum without their permission, I will turn off replies and if anyone has a recommendation please respond by private message.

For_my_girl You can send for the list of thyroid friendly doctors from Dionne at ThyroidUK by emailing tukadmin@thyroiduk.org

There is also a list of private practioners and doctors who have a special interest in thyroid disorders and you can follow the Contact Us link on this page of ThyroidUK's main website to request this:

thyroiduk.org/help-and-supp...

You could then see who you could travel to and maybe phone them to see if they have the experience you are looking for, you could also ask on the forum if any member has experience of a particular doctor and if so to let you have information by private message.
