I have hypothyroidism (not producing enough hormones to regulate my body). I am taking a medication everyday. I used to have a lot of panic attack and chronic anxiety. I was considering that it was the consequences of my hypothyroidism. I went from doctors to doctors and they were saying "it is all in your head"... It might be or not but the thing is that I wanted to take care of myself and enjoy as much as possible life. I had been referred by my PCP to west london mental health. I was first very apprehensive by the name "mental health". But I quickly realize that I needed to take care of my mental health as well as my physical health. My therapist gave me a lot of tool to manage the anxiety and more than that to apply them in real life. I feel much more freedom than before! ! .
