Mental illness/hypothyroid

Hey, I know how you're feeling. Im experiencing mental symptoms of hypothyroidism also. Like you I'm trying to see which is the egg and which is the chicken. Its so many sources that says it does mimic mental illness. I've also heard from others thatost of the time their symptoms disappear once they're optimally and adequately treated. Its days I feel as if I'm losing my mind. Mood swings, brain fog, bad thoughts, paranoia and you name it. If you ever want to talk or vent just email me. Maybe we can try helping each other. All the best

Thanks so much for the replies. I haven't seen the doc yet or any reports/numbers. Was just told over the phone and told to go in for a thyroid ultrasound on Monday. Hopefully will have more info soon! Also planning to move up my psych appt and see what he thinks if this.
