The Thyroid Solution: A Mind-Body Program for Beating Depression and Regaining Your Emotional and Physical Health

Living with hypothyroidism

I've been taking thyroid meds for 15 years now and will have to for the rest of my life. I can honestly say it DOES affect you in many ways; from being tired all the time, to having no energy to even get out if bed sometimes. I'm also taking an antidepressant which has helped wonders in my 6 month TSH lab work; it was never stable before, but after 15 years of meds and the antidepressant, I can finally say I feel fine.

The Absolute BEST book on Thyroid disease EVER!!!!

I recommend this book to anyone living with thyroid disease, family members, friends, Doctors, students etc... This book was by far the most imformative of them all. It covers everything you could possibly know. I was so disappointed when my endocrinologist failed to explain the symptoms. This book enlightened me on my disease and reassured me that I wasnt crazy or imagining the things that I was feeling/going through.
It is an easy read, its very interesting, not boring, was very well written! It is a must read!!!

Very interesting and enlightening

Great book, it is amazing how much you learn about yourself through this book and how common this disorder is. Recommend this book to all that have questions concerning their thyroid condition.

You will refer to this book again and again.

This book made me feel better. I still refer to it after living with Hypothyroidism for 12 years. It helped me understand the wide reaching symptoms, beyond feeling tired, like depression and libido. It provides nutritional information as well as exercise advice. It answered my questions and gave me the knowledge I needed to demand the proper care from my doctor. I bought copies for my friends who also have Hypothyroidism.

EXCELLENT BOOK FOR THYROID PATIENTS!

I bought this book a few years ago when I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease. It answered so many questions that I had and helped me to understand what I was going through . . . mood swings, weight gain, irritability, etc . . . YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! I bought this book for my doctor after I read it and asked her to read it too!

Marginally helpful

Arem's book offers a great deal of insight into the psychological manifestations of thyroid disease. But although he seems to recognize the mind body connection, he offers no solutions, particularly for hyperthyroidism, that address immune system health and the role of stress, iodine and other common triggers. His eagerness to guide hyperthyroid patients into destroying their thyroid glands shows that little thought was given to the life-long well-being of patients with this condition.

Best book on Thyroid function for layman

A family history of thyroid imbalance had me checking thyroid from early twenties to cope with infertility, depression, et al. I've watched my thyroid values climb and plummet throughout the past 15 years. When thyroid values 'normal' by establishment I was given antidepressant (TSH value was 3.0+). It didn't change symptoms. At 40 years, my TSH value walked out of 'norm' and I was given thyroid hormone. I hadn't felt so well since I was 25! This book includes many charts and values of tests, how to interpret results of tests, diet for optimum health, etc. His book was a great help in understanding my condition. Depression cleared, memory restored, fatigue gone since on thyroid hormone. Dr. Arem's information enabled me to become a participant in my healthcare--not a sickly compliant. Thank you Dr. Arem!

A Must Have Book for The Thyroid Patient

I heard about this book. I hestitated in purchasing this book as I had bought others and really did not learn much on my condition. Last week I bought the book. The Thyroid Solution: answered my questions other doctors I have seen, did not. I am no longer in the dark about my Thyroid and related problems. Thyroid Solutions: stays at my bedside and every night I read more. I am impressed how well this book is written and how easy it is to read. I am learning much. I plan to purchase two more of these books and give out as gifts. Thank You, Dr. Arem
