Heavens, yes! Thyroid disorders can cause anxiety and mood problems, though I don't think you need to stop your meds to check these possibilities out. A good place to start is the American Thyroid Association. They have some good info. If you haven't seen an endocrinologist and you really believe there could be a medical reason for your problems, that's where I'd head next.

Others here may have some ideas about other systems/specialists to check out.
