jacobite33, The connection between mental health and thyroid is discussed quite often here. Hopefully my reply to you will bring your post back into the news feed, and someone might recall the particular discussion you're looking for. 🙂

Hi helvella that is for replying that’s not the one I remember.One a light note I’m not one for pointing the finger but I am sure it was you that posted it.I was going to mention you in my first post but your busy enough as it is.Sure it was in the Daily Mail or some other newspaper report.Saying something like 33% of mental health issues take an average of 20 years to discover it’s there thyroid.Tried going through your posts but you post that much important info!
