Hyperthyroidism
This condition is caused by the excess production of thyroxine in the thyroid gland. Thyroxine aids heart and muscle functions, bone maintenance, digestion, and brain development. When produced in excess it causes you to become irritable, nervous, or anxious. This causes it to resemble a mood disorder. Some other symptoms include heavy sweating, weight loss, and rapid heartbeats. Blood tests may be required for your doctor to accurately detect the condition. The balance of thyroxine in the body is important as imbalance will have varying effects on the body.
