Thyroid disorders affect around four per cent of the population. Once diagnosed, however, thyroid conditions can be treated effectively and good health restored. In the comprehensive and sympathetic guide, Dr Rowan Hillson looks at the thyroid gland and how it works. She discusses problems of both overactive and underactive thyroid, thyroid eye disorders and goitres and addresses the following:
- How to recognise when something is wrong
