i have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and graves desease. i go into these anger fuelled rants, slamming things and stomping around like a 4 year old having a tantrum. my mind is constantly racing with a million things passing through my mind all day. i forget things constantly, short term and long term memory is effected. i am taking 20mg carbimazole per day and my blood results have been steady for 7 months. my tsh is still low. i havent spoken to my doctor about it because i dont want him to think im crazy but its really effecting my marriage now and i need some help. would rai or surgery help or maybe some sedatives? counselling? what have others found helpful with graves related mental health problems?

please help.
