An autoimmune condition of the thyroid gland (a gland located beneath the larynx).

Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, depression, and the inability to exercise. It is more common in females and can run in families. Also called autoimmune thyroiditis and Hashimoto thyroiditis. (NCI Dictionary)
