They keep checking my thyroid but find nothing wrong though?

I had Hypothyroidism on Lithium - Seroquel and Zyprexa both gave me an under active thyroid.

Sometimes its certain meds that affect our thyroid function - they also keep checking my thyroid levels

They frequently tick the box re thyroid when I have my blood tests.

The drug: Lithium caused me to go into hypothyroidism, years ago. Now, I have to take Synthroid, which is a thyroid hormone replacement drug, the rest of my life. My pdoc always checks my thyroid hormone levels.
There’s not a link between the thyroid and schizophrenia. There’s a link between the thyroid and schizophrenia and bipolar medications,
