Hi Dear,

Though Thyroid diseases cause less hair growth, we need to look at other hormones in you especially Testosterone and Prolactin etc. ( +/- Growth hormone as you mentioned that you look very young for your age). Whats your height and did you have good height in school compared to peers ? How is your sex drive ? These are importnat questions to consider before we order hormone tests. We also need to examine you to look for clues of hormone deficiency.

Now coming to the Hyper part which you mentioned, we need to know what exact thyroid condition you are having ( Hyper or Hypothyroidism ? ) and what drug you are taking. You must check your Thyroid hormones to see if they are okay. Hyperthyroidism can make you irritable and anxious.

I am sure that your endocrinologist will be able to help you further

Kind Regards
