[00:00:00]There's no direct medical evidence that narcissistic abuse causes a thyroid condition, but there is a well-established connection between chronic stress and thyroid issues. And the long-term emotional and psychological abuse from being around a narcissist is a form of chronic stress that dysregulates your nervous system.

[00:00:18]When your nervous system is dysregulated, your body releases excess stress hormones, which activates your HPA axis. And that creates an imbalance of your thyroid hormones, which can lead to a malfunctioning thyroid. So, if you have a thyroid condition or have thyroid issues from experiencing narcissistic abuse, one of the first things you can do to manage your symptoms is regulate your nervous system.
