How would I recognise an overactive thyroid in my son?
You may notice disruptive behaviour at school or in the home, schoolwork affected by poor concentration, a large appetite but no weight-gain, restlessness, diarrhoea and that he is tall for his age. These are some signs to look out for but often they get overlooked and the child is thought to be disruptive and difficult and this leads to more stress for the child complicating the situation.
