An underactive thyroid occurs with the thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. This is most commonly referred to as hypothyroidism. An underactive thyroid also occurs due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis (a thyroid autoimmune condition) as well as postpartum thyrioditis. Thyroid conditions are hereditary in nature, especially among women.

Which hormone causes grave's disease?
Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes hyperthyroidism.(particularly in the developed countries). normally TSH combines with the surface receptors of thyroid cells and causes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. in Grave's disease the thyroid stimulating autoantibodies (B-TSAB) produced by B lymphocytes activate the TSH receptors and increase the secretion of thyroid hormones(thyroxine and triiodothyronine). Grave's disease is due to elevated thyroid stimulating IgG also knoen as long acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) which activates TSH and, thereby, increases thyroid hormonal production.
