Hashimoto's Disease
Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Treatment generally involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy. Regular monitoring is essential to manage the condition effectively. Hashimoto's disease primarily affects middle-aged women.
