The Claim
Chronic psychological stress and anxiety cause dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis, which in turn worsens autoimmune thyroid dysfunction.

Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When people are under long-term stress or feel anxious all the time, it can mess up their thyroid gland's normal function and make thyroid autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's worse.

Chronic psychological stress and anxiety dysregulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis and exacerbate autoimmune thyroid dysfunction.
