Thyroid disorders are conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. The thyroid has important roles to regulate numerous metabolic processes throughout the body. Different types of thyroid disorders affect either its structure or function. Since the thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, disorders of these tissues can also affect thyroid function and cause thyroid problems. Conditions of the thyroid gland include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goiter, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. Thyroid conditions can at times be misdiagnosed as other conditions due to overlapping symptoms that it can produce. An example of this may be nervousness and anxiety which may actually be the result of an overactive thyroid. Thus the importance of investigating the underlying causes of disease presentations so as not to miss the true causality of a patient’s symptoms, which is the focus of Naturopathic medicine. Supporting healthy thyroid function is vital for optimal health and wellbeing.
