Thank you so much for posting this very important message! As a clinical psychologist I can tell you that, although this is touched upon as part of a psychologist's training, it is not given nearly as much attention as it should be! And my concentration of study was in Health Psychology, where there is even more focus on the mind-body interaction. So in a general clinical training, it is hardly touched upon at all. And unfortunately, it has been considered even less often in actual practice. Between all the therapists that I have personally seen, and also all that I have known as colleagues, there are only a very small percentage that even take thyroid functioning into consideration as a factor in the conditions that you have listed. This most definitely needs to change as so many people are suffering needlessly! And one of my new projects is to shed light upon the mental health system in its entirety since it is drastically in need of an overhaul! I even have a patron saint for 'the cause'; St. Teresa of Avila was also known as the Patron Saint of Hysteria, lol! She's a damn good gal to have on your side; what a feisty lady that one was!

There is at least one other condition that you can add to your list. There has been much speculation that Borderline Personality Disorder is actually a form of PTSD. And in looking at PTSD from an energetic perspective, it would make sense that the thyroid gland would be involved in this condition. The thyroid, being located in the throat, would also be a throat chakra issue. And it would stand to reason that people who have experienced horrendous abuse, and suffer with symptoms of PTSD or Borderline Personality, would also have difficulties with giving a voice to their experience. Here is a nice source of information on the throat chakra:

And from that site we also see that the throat chakra is also connected to the flow of love and the heart chakra:

"When there is an insufficent flow of love or emotional nourishment to the Heart-chakra, the person may try to compensate by desire for physical nourishment through the Throat Chakra. Problems with gluttony or compulsive eating would then result. When there is also a negative functioning in the base-of-the-neck chakra (negative self-image) the result could be bulimia and anorexia."

And so we also see that eating disorders are additionally related. This would be consistent with the symptom profile for Borderline Personality Disorder. Now by charting these symptoms on a linear scale, and placing 'pathological' eating disorders at one end of the spectrum, and states like obesity on that line within the 'normal' range of human functioning, what emerges is a continuum of conditions that are all related to the same core issues. And is it any wonder then, that the majority of Americans are overweight and also suffer from some degree of Depression at some time in their life?

This also suggests that there is not the clearly -defined separation from one psychiatric 'disorder' to another, and my own experiences have born this out to be the truth. All dis-ease is essentially from the same root causes. And this cause, at the root, is a lack of nourishment to the heart! The answer, then, to all dis-ease is to get the love flowing freely! Yep, love is the key, folks!

Awesome video! Enjoy!!!
