Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to suffer from an overactive or underactive thyroid. Thyroid disorders result from an underactive thyroid - hypothroidism, with symptoms including fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, intolerance to cold, or an overactive thyroid - hyperthroidism, with symptoms including irritability, weight loss, sleep disturbances, vision problems and heat intolerance.

Half of all thyroid problems remain undiagnosed, yet thyroid problems are 90% curable and relatively easy to treat if diagnosed.This book focuses on women and children; thyroid problems covered include Graves Disease, Hashimoto's Disease, simple goiter, and de Quervain's thyroiditis.
