    The thyroid controls how quickly the body uses energy. Changes in thyroid function can affect weight, mood, energy and many other systems.

    Key points to know

    • Symptoms are often vague and overlap with other conditions.
    • Diagnosis uses blood tests such as TSH and free T4.
    • Treatment is usually simple and effective once diagnosed.
    • Do not adjust thyroid medicine without medical advice.
