Graves Disease

Graves disease causes to person to have insomnia, hand tremor, hyperactivity, hair loss, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, weight loss despite increased appetite, diarrhea, frequent defecation, palpitations, muscle weakness, and skin warmth and moistness. Thyrotoxic patients may experience behavioral and personality changes, such as psychosis, agitation, and depression. In milder hyperthyroidism, patients will rather experience less overt manifestations, such as anxiety, restlessness, irritability, and emotional lability.

Graves’ disease has no cure, but treatments for its consequences (hyperthyroidism, ophthalmopathy, and mental symptoms) are available. The Graves’ disease itself - as defined, for example, by high serum thyroid autoantibodies concentrations or ophthalmopathy - often persists after its hyperthyroidism has been successfully treated.

Hope this helps!
