Thyroid disease affects 25 million Americans but half of them don't know they have it. Dr. Val Jones explains the signs and symptoms of thyroid disease to the Let's Talk Live crew at ABC News Channel 8 in Washington, DC.
Good clip but I'm Dr. Val didn't mention hypo/hyperthyroidism doesn't necessarily affect weight all the time. My primary hypo symptom is fatigue (NOT mentioned!) but I'm not overweight. Undiagnosed people out there have probably heard of thyroid diseases but don't consider themselves as possibly having it because of the stereotypes. What if they just have milder cases like me? We all deserve to reach our full potential. Also, I'm sorry but the male host was just being a total idiot.
