HYPOTHYROIDISM SYMPTOMS
HYPOTHYROIDISM SYMPTOMS
Hypothyroidism can cause symptoms of slowed thinking, speech, and memory difficulties, often mimicking dementia. In these cases, hypothyroidism is classified as pseudodementia because, upon treatment, the patient returns to normal "functioning" and their mind returns to normal. Therefore, a diagnosis of dementia always requires ruling out other causes that may affect brain function. #memoryloss #alzheimer's #hypothyroidism
