Has a good, clear list of both hyper and hypo effects on our mind and emotions.

Quote:

They noted that 2% of the males in the study and 9% of the females in the study had thyroid
disease, while 1.3% of the men and 4.1% of the women suffered from diabetes mellitus. The prevalence
of thyroid disease in women was higher than expected in the general population. It was not increased in
men. The study noted that patients who also suffered from panic disorder were more likely to have an
underlying medical illness causing their anxiety, particularly thyroid disease in women.

Psychiatric presentations are often the first sign of hypothyroidism, occurring as the initial
symptoms in approximately 2% to 12% of reported cases, with organic mental deficits being the most
frequently reported initial symptoms.32 Anxiety and progressive mental slowing associated with
diminished recent memory, speech deficits and diminished learning ability are the characteristic initial
progression of symptoms
