Love and Graves' Disease- A Missed Call for Love?
Despite recent advances in diagnostic
procedures and the development of new techniques for removing or damping
down the function of the thyroid gland, the enigma of
Graves' disease
remains unsolved. Why the thyroid starts functioning abnormally, why antithyroid medication can succeed in damping down the function of the
thyroid gland in some people and not in others, cannot be explained. A relationship between severe emotional shock and the onset of hyperthyroidism had been noted by clinicians since the first descriptions of the disease entity. Cases in which the illness starts immediately after a severe shock continue to be seen. However the presence of emotional shock is not the only imperative for the appearance of Graves’ Disease or Hyperthyroidism. It appears that the presence of extended emotional disturbance or stress, even in cases where is not so evident, is a good enough reason for the onset of these diseases. My personal observations as a former patient with Graves Disease, as well as my investigation as a psychologist show that the stability of Graves’ Disease/ Hyperthyroid patients rests upon ability to gain affection and protection by doing for others. They appear to be friendly, out-going, and likeable persons, perhaps because they have unconsciously cultivated ways of being liked, usually giving much and asking little. They concentrate their efforts on gaining the affection of a parent, a child, friends, and a group of people or a spouse by self-sacrifice. Unless they can give of themselves they feel unwanted and rejected. Even though they are unable to "assert” their own needs openly, they nevertheless expect unswerving fidelity in return for their over solicitude. That’s the way they are able to control the people around them and that’s how so called “neurosis of power” is created.
