The thyroid is a small gland found on the lower part of your neck, and plays an important part in helping to regulate a lot of your body’s processes. When it is working well, your energy levels, moods, and metabolism all work relatively steadily, but when there are problems with your thyroid, you may start to notice symptoms from weight and lack of energy, through to depression, anxiety, dry skin & hair.
An estimated 1 in 20 adults will experience a thyroid disorder in their lives. If you are concerned that your thyroid may not be working properly, then you may need to have a blood test for thyroid profile.
