Yes.

quote:

Were there signs you missed or was it later onset?
I missed signs, ignored maternal-side medical issues (Schizoaffective disorder) in both mom and grandma, and missed distant familial thyroid disorders. I was young and stupid and thought I just needed to get her away from her crazy mom.

Was it hereditary
Obviously hereditary.

quote:

How did you handle it?
I didn't get a chance to actually handle it. She went nuclear. Almost destroyed my life completely in one fell swoop. I supported her financially for a decade while we were separated. I had hoped something would magically click and she would be healthy again. Young and dumb.

Are you still together?
Nope.

Curious about this. Why would a thyroid disorder cause mental issues, unless it is untreated? I have a hypothyroid (due to having kids) and I don't have a mental disorder of course I have to take a pill everyday for the rest of my life.
