My doctor says that I have a problem with my thyroid. What can I do about this?

Your doctor is right, you do have a problem with your thyroid. You may be suffering from hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, while hyperthyroidism is when it produces too many hormones. Symptoms of both conditions include fatigue, weight gain, depression, and difficulty concentrating. Treatment for hypothyroidism includes taking medication to replace the missing hormones, while treatment for hyperthyroidism involves reducing hormone production. It's important to talk to your doctor about which type of treatment is best for you.
