In reply to BP thyroid (again), posted by fires on September 8, 2005, at 13:02:45
Hi Fires,
I am brand new to this forum and by no means an expert on anything to do with THIS forum. But .. I was diagnosed with Graves disease (hyperthyroid) several years ago and have done a lot of reading of books and am active on several BB's in regards to thyroid diseases. I have just recently (past year) flipped over to being hypO and have been very, VERY depressed. I am NOW on thyroid meds and that is gradually getting better.What I have learned in these past five years though .. is that any kind of a thyroid condition can intefere with your mental/emotional health at ANY age. Also .. thyroid conditions are very hereditary. Defintely worth looking into!
Good luck .. Take care, ~Flame~
"Since I was recently dxed with BP (hypomania) I've been fascinated with the "thyroid connection". Especially since my mother and grandmother had thyroid problems."
My question: What exactly is meant by late onset in the below? Anything later than "the usual" onset? (I'm 51 years young)"
