Thyroid and psyche: In general, hypothyroidism leaves you more fatigued, depressed, with a slow psyche, and hyperthyroidism has you more "buzzy". However there is much variation. There are many psychological issues with hypothyroidism, including bad temper. Either hypo or hyper can worsen preexisting psychological problems. Life changing events (eg crime, divorce, etc) can occur in people with thyroid disorders.
