Thyroid Depression
It's not hard to become overwhelmed, and ignore the seriousness of depression, when you consider how complicated and fast moving society is today.
Of the many possible causes of depression, an underactive thyroid gland could easily be the primary cause.
Depression can touch the lives of everyone, whether they're rich or poor, male or female, educated or uneducated.
Once someone is hit by depression, he or she generally behaves in such a manner, that it just serves to intensify this illness. It can be a viscious cycle that sometimes seems impossible to break free of.
What are Underactive Thyroid Symptoms?
- Difficulty remembering and focusing.
- A negative approach to life in general, both present and future.
- Feeling unimportant and desperate.
- Feeling anxious or scared that something “bad” is about to happen.
- Phobias and doubts about certain situations.
- Disrupted sleeping patterns - either lack of sleep or wanting to sleep all the time.
Physical symptoms include: headaches, aches and pains, gastrointestinal upsets and inability to perform normal, everyday activities.
The thyroid gland controls your body's metabolism, which means that your hair, your skin, your weight, your sex drive, and all sorts of other things that go on in your body depend upon your thyroid functioning properly.
