Hashimoto thyroiditis is a type of autoimmune disease that attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. This can cause hypothyroidism, which can lead to a wide range of symptoms, such as tiredness, weight gain, depression, and changes in your menstrual cycle. The cause of hashimoto's thyroiditis is unknown, but it's thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
