Thyroid Dysfunction - AutoImmune Disorder

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I’ve been researching the internet in regards to thyroid dysfunction and came across Blue Book 14.07, Part C. Doesn’t most hypothyroidism fall into the autoimmune category? I’m curious as to whether a serious thyroid impairment might fall under an autoimmune disorder. Also, I am under the the impression that this condition might affect a person’s mental condition, in addition to their physical condition, making it fall into a medical disorder category rather than mental or physical alone. Thoughts?
