Oh Wow! You hit the nail on the head! My first hospitalization was due to my thyroid. My TSH was up to 22. That caused the most incredible panic attacks. I have Hashimotos thyroiditis, low thyroid. So contrary to what you are led to believe low thyroid can cause anxiety. When they upped my dose of thyroid it calmed me down. But I was and still am on a benzo for anxiety. That will never go away. Fondly, Phillipa
