However, if you feel constant anxiety, thoughts about the pandemic interfere with your daily routine, or you tend to imagine fatalistic scenarios \u2013 there is a need to address these feelings on your own or with the help of a professional.\u00a0<\/p><p>This is a general recommendation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240003927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Health Organization<\/a> to all people across the globe but the patients with chronic thyroid conditions must take it more seriously. It goes without saying that being in the middle of a pandemic is stressful to everyone, however, people with chronic diseases such as hypo- or hyperthyroidism, Grave\u2019s diseases, goiter, thyroid cancer, and others may experience harder times with overcoming it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3246784\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scientists have found<\/a> that stress does not just act as a potential catalyst for some thyroid diseases (which isn\u2019t surprising as stress accelerates many other illnesses) but it also works backward \u2013 thyroid disorders make it harder to overcome stress. Besides, psychological symptoms may be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.btf-thyroid.org\/psychological-symptoms-and-thyroid-disorders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">side-effect of the treatment<\/a>. For example, steroids can aggravate depression or beta-blockers, which are often used to slow down your heart rate and to reduce anxiety, can make some people tired, depressed, and less alert. Prolonged stress becomes chronic, negatively influencing the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid and hypothalamic\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis. Thus, the people with thyroid conditions have a higher risk of getting caught in this endless \u201cmore stress \u2013 more hormonal disbalance\u201d circle.<\/p><p>That is why you have to be kind to your mind and develop an understanding that you tolerate stress differently from the others. We don\u2019t encourage you to use this fact as an excuse but maybe it makes sense to give yourself some extra self-care or approach a therapist a bit earlier than you would do it without a thyroid condition. Do not feel ashamed or scared \u2013 your feelings and emotions are a part of your personality and learning how to cope with them is nothing but a mature approach to life.

Even though they seem logical, it isn\u2019t exactly the truth. First of all, the range of chronic diseases is huge \u2013 from more well-known conditions like gastritis of goiter to rare genetic syndromes and malignancies. We can\u2019t summarize them into one group as their mechanism, location and presentation differ too much. Secondly, even though during the COVID-19 disease the virus circulates all over the body, there are always some more and less vulnerable organs to each particular infection. That\u2019s why one shouldn\u2019t unite all chronic health conditions into one group.<\/p><p>Great news \u2013 the CDC has created <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/need-extra-precautions\/people-with-medical-conditions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a list<\/a> of certain underlying medical conditions that increase the risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

However, do not rush into conclusions \u2013 cancer, obesity, use of the corticosteroids and other risks may apply to some of you. British NHS has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/coronavirus-covid-19\/people-at-higher-risk\/whos-at-higher-risk-from-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">similar list<\/a> of moderate and high-risk groups of patients on their website. Their page has a great feature \u2013 it specifies the particular types of malignant diseases and cancer treatments which have been linked to higher chances of COVID-19 infection complication. We strongly recommend you to familiarize yourself with this data and define whether you are at the risk group or not.
