Hypothyroidism is a deficiency of thyroid hormone. The thyroid is part of the endocrine system. That's why my endocrinologist (hormone doctor) treats my hypothyroidism. You are correct about Hashimoto's being an autoimmune disease.

"...hypothyroidism – a condition where your body’s thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone"
