In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?

High TSH usually means hypothyroidism. It is treatable with thyroid medication. It is not dangerous if managed early. Consult your doctor for starting treatment.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I am 41 years old and have been suffering from serious mental illness for the last 10 years. The medicines I take are lithium bicarbonate, amisulpride, Phendy Plus and the sleeping tablet zolpidem. I searched on the internet about these medicines and found that they are used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and parkinsonism. I want to know about ayurvedic medicine as I have not got any results from allopathic medicines.
