Thyroid disorders?

Hi Does anyone out there have a Thyroid disorder and have problems with Depression and Anxiety also. What has worked for you?

Oh, boy! Do you have low thyroid (hypOthyroid), or overactive, (hypERthyroid). A veterenarian, of all people, explained to me that the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland have their fingers in all your bodily functions. I have hypothyroid and am on medication for it. Thyroxine is the generic name for it. It is a lifetime condition. I also on occasion suffer from depression and anxiety-in the form of panic attacks. I don't think you can attribute either to thyroid. Rather they are related to circumstances in my life. I have lexapro for depression and diazapam (valium) for anxiety. There is lots of info here if you do a search on thyroid, or hypothyroid, sometimes known as Hashimoto syndrome.

I have hypothyroidism.

Anxiety and Depression are direct by product of a Thyroid or Parathyroid (www.parathryroid.com) being out of whack but are the the soul cause. For me Sythroid was not the answer. I am now on Armor; I no longer have problems with depression or anxiety like I used to.

I highly recommend to see an endocrinologists if your not already. All of the SSRI never worked for me. I have been told by my endocrinologist that generic sythroid is junk. I wish you and everyone else who reads this the best. Hang in there things will get better.
