What Is Hashimoto's Disease?
5. Mental Health Issues
A natural balance of hormones is important for our mental well-being in addition to our physical well-being. The disease can cause the patient to develop a number of mental health problems, one of which is that they can become slower than usual mentally, and they can also have memory lapses.
Both men and women with the condition can experience a drop in libido and this has the potential to put a strain on relationships. Hashimoto’s disease will also lead to depression in some cases. Depression is itself a very dangerous condition that should be taken seriously as it may cause the patient to harbor thoughts about taking their own life.
