It is so important to consider your thyroid. your psychiatrist is very thorough to want to have this done. I have hypothyroidism. In the early eighties a routine checkup by my Doctor at the time found out that my thyroid was three times the size it was suppose to be and found out it was a precancerous condition due to having radiation done to me as a baby in the 50's.I had terrible depression and anxiety) I had a thyroidectomy and today I take a pill everyday because of it. Hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism is important in many physical as well as mental issues. Today I still have problems with depression, and other mental health problems, I can only imagine how it would be a lot worse had I not had my thyroid checked, not to mention cancer of the thyroid.
warm thoughts to you.

Wow, I'm glad that you got that taken care of in time. I'm really afraid, just not knowing what's been going on with me lately. I never have had really thorough blood work done before, other than a complete blood count, of course but thyroid things don't show up on that apparently, it only showed some abnormal hormone levels. If it turns out to be something like a thyroid issue least I'll have some direction in what's been going on and treat it, and if things come back normal then I will at least have some peace of mind. I'm glad my doctor requested it, the first one to do so after 4 other doctors, it seems like it's something really important from what I've been reading.
