Interesting. From what I’ve seen with peeps it certainly can lead to anxiety. Not sure on the psychosis but wouldn’t be surprised…
It’s not out of the realms of sz anyways and if your taking the meds to some effect then that usually is a clue to the realms of things.

Am a little paranoid that the article is wrong seeing there’s not a heap of evidence on hypothyroidism causing psychosis… there is some evidence though…
My ex mrs was born without thyroid. Really anxietal as a adult and probably lo bi polar for sure. No psychosis to speak of but I think it leads to mental health issues for sure.
