Love and Graves’ Disease- A Missed Call for Love?

As a result the patient is left helpless, betrayed and enraged. It appears that the basic need of these patients is for more love than they can get at that particular moment and for a prolonged period of time. At a certain point the  disease starts to manifest on different levels.

For me this is one of the basic psychological reasons for the onset of Graves Disease and Hyperthyroid- inability of the patient to communicate their need for love, as well as to receive love.

The structure of this psychological phenomenon lies in the following scheme:

 Basic needs (love, food, acceptance, sense of belonging, sexual needs etc.)- not satisfied due to different reasons (rejection, inability to ask for etc.) à Aggressive Responseà Anxietyà Defense Against Anxiety à Reaction Formation (ostentatious display of independence or/and affection)à Break Downà Ineffectual Defense Structure with overwhelming Anxiety is apt to produce thyrotoxicosis.

Final Thoughts For Your Consideration:

     1.     Determine your basic needs- here and now

2.     Use different methods of communication to ask for what you need

3.     Make a list of activities that will endorse your sense of self-love

4.     Make decisions based upon your real needs and therefore create a life style based upon these needs

5.     Clear relationships and communications. Speak up how you feel. Don’t attack verbally the other people. Aggression is not the way.

6.     Love your disease, this is the way how your body and your soul want to remind you that they still exist.
