2. Anxiety
A high rate of metabolism induced by an excess of thyroid hormones can mimic some psychological symptoms associated with psychiatric conditions such as anxiety disorders or mood swing disorders such as bipolar disorder.
It is important for your psychologist or psychiatrist to prescribe a dosage of your blood level of thyroid hormones if you have symptoms similar to anxiety, especially if other possible symptoms of hyperthyroidism are also detected. Higher metabolism can make your thoughts go faster and your emotional processing gets a bit out of control. It isn’t uncommon that people with high thyroid hormone levels feel restless, nervous, or uneasy.
