Thyroid diseases sometimes result from inappropriate TSH levels, or may be caused by problems in the thyroid gland itself.
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition where the body makes antibodies that destroy parts of the thyroid gland. Surgical removal and certain medications (e.g., amiodarone, lithium) can also cause hypothyroidism.
Other causes of hypothyroidism include pituitary problems, hypothalamus problems, and iodine deficiency (rare in North America, but affects nearly 2 billion people worldwide).
Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. This condition occurs when the immune system produces an antibody that stimulates the entire thyroid gland; this leads to overactivity and higher levels of thyroid hormones.
Secondary hyperthyroidism is caused when the pituitary gland makes too much TSH, leading to constant stimulation of the thyroid gland. A pituitary tumour may cause TSH levels to rise. More rarely, the pituitary gland becomes insensitive to thyroid hormones, no longer responding to high levels.
Another possible cause of hyperthyroidism is a condition called thyroiditis. This condition occurs when the thyroid gland becomes inflamed. Depending on the type of thyroiditis, this may lead to temporary hyperthyroidism that might be followed by hypothyroidism.

Why are certain diseases incurable?
The word "incurable" is a form of surrender used by someone who has not yet discovered, or perhaps assembled, the research to show that a disease can be brought into remission. Diseases can look incurable for a long time, not because we haven't found a method, but because there are alternate movations for groups to use the word. Someone who has a disease that is "incurable" but then gets cured runs into a dilemma. That person is competing with all of the authoirty from sources that cited the disease could not be cured. No longer could they have had this disease from which they were cured because society will no longer let them have the illness. Someone might state, "If the disease is incurable you never had the illness in the first place, it must have been something else." This person loses their authoirty that they have had an illness because they have been cured or even worse, abandons treatement just because a critical perspective makes a positive outcome look impossible. Whats worse is that the culture looses the ability to document what brought it into remission. For most diseases, treatment requires more than just taking your pills. If you lose that positive vision that the disease can be cured, that attitude itself can influence behaviors that promote recovery. To call any disease "incurable" is unethcial no matter how far away technology is away from actually curing the disease. Why? Calling the disease incurable influences that surrender and the discoveres required to cure the illness.
