This article was published in an Endocrine Journal in Japan and also added to the links on the Science Links Japan website and is on the subject of "anxiety" as it manifests in subclinical thyroid disorders. The article is entitled; "Assessment of Anxiety in Subclinical Thyroid Disorders".
The conclusion in this medical study is that anxiety can develop in subclinical thyroid disorders whether hyperthyroid or hypothyroid. This lends toward correcting the misperception by some in the medical community who believe only hyperthyroid states cause anxiety symptoms. It is also in opposition to some opinions that state only full blown thyroid dysfunction causes emotional symptoms. This article points out that patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction can potentially experience anxiety symptoms.
