My mother in law had some/all (not sure) of her thryroid removed due to cancer a long time ago. She takes Synthroid, a synthetic hormone. When her hormone(s) get out of whack, the family notices before she feels it. She turns into a royal bitch, and her poor husband gets the silent treatment for nothing. She also gets very insecure and jealous of him if he has to work late, take an overnight business trip etc. Thyroid hormones do in fact have secondary mood effects, I've seen it firsthand.
