2. Mood swings and memory changes
Hypothyroidism causes people to have symptoms like depression, mood swings, anxiety, slower thinking, trouble speaking, apathy, and a feeling of not caring.
Thyroid disease, stress, and hypothyroidism have all been linked to increased anxiety. Researchers discovered that a lack of adequate hormone production by the thyroid gland leads to hypothyroidism. Appetite loss, difficulties concentrating, restless sleep, low motivation, irritability, anger outbursts, sadness, and stress may all be signs (don’t forget to ask a professional for help if you feel any of these signs).
These things happen due to the fact that the brain needs the thyroid hormone to function at its full capacity. Even though the brain might suffer because of the lack of these hormones, the whole process can be reversed if the person begins treatment.

The article on 12 signs you might have Hypothyroidism is very informative. Thank you.
I would like more articles on Hypothyroidism as I have the disease, and I need to understand the disease better.
My GP had never explained hypothyroid to me. I was losing hair, putting on weight and feeling tired all the time and my GP never suggested it. It was s friend said I might have it so i asked for a test which was positive so I was put on 100g thyroxine . I’m still losing hair and can’t lose weight and am tired all the time. I think I’m tested annually but don’t know why I’m still feeling so awful. Is there any other treatment other than thyroxine,? I’m getting so depressed by this…

I’m going through the same thing, hair loss, weight gain, and complete exhaustion. I too am on 100g thyroxine. I’d love to find out what else I can do besides just taking a pill every morning.
Try the more expensive Synthroid if your insurance can cover some or all of it. Many sufferers say this brand name is distinctly better- I know it is for me after trying both at different times. Good luck with any other adjustments you can ask more about.
