Graves Disease Therapists
Does anyone have any tips for finding a therapist that understands the physiological implications of Graves’ disease. I was seeing someone for grief counseling due to having a spouse with a terminal cancer. I think its possible that the emotional stress triggered my Graves’ disease. The Graves’ disease also exacerbated my emotional state so both issues were probably feeding on each other. Since starting on Methimazole I feel better than I’ve felt in a while both emotionally and physically. My issue with the current therapist is that she doesn’t seem to grasp what exactly Graves’ disease is I’ve had to explain to her that some of my symptoms were from Graves’ disease and not grieving. Since she doesn’t seem to be familiar with Graves disease I’m not confident she can fully assist me with my needs so I’m considering finding a different option. With a spouse dying of cancer and a new graves diagnosis obviously need help but I need to make sure I’m getting the right help. Anyone have any experience with this or trouble finding a therapist that understands Graves’ disease?
