I have graves disease with ALL the symptoms but I also had depression. Which is a symptom of hypothyroid. I’m wondering am I just depressed or is that a little known sypmtom no one talks about. Also I havent taken my medication for a year, I just took a blood test and they all came back normal.
I believe that pregnancy brought on my graves and now that I am done with having kids and breastfeeding them, it has disappeared? Is that possible or am i in lala land?

I think the depression is probably unrelated to the Graves disease. I haven’t seen any research showing a connection between the two. I’m not saying it isn’t out there, just that I haven’t seen it.
As for the Grave’s being related to childbirth, it is possible. The body works in strange ways, and no two people will react exactly the same all the time.
hi, i was diagnosed with graves’ this past March, but i don’t have depression. i do get sort of tired from the methimazole, but i have reduced the meds on my own.
i get my info from suite101.com, Elaine Moore one of the writers will answer all your questions concerning graves’ disease.
good luck, Mari
