Head feels like it will explode daily. Severe cognitive difficulties

As far as I can remember, I haven't considered a possible thyroid issue. As for seeing neurologists, I saw one today who proclaimed that this was solely a mental problem and that I needed to get on with life. No matter how hard I push through my symptoms, I never feel any better, so I really don't believe what the neurologist told me. I've already seen 2 different therapists multiple times with no success and have been on multiple antidepressants. I just don't understand how this can solely be a mind thing. Doctors tell me to try and push through these symptoms and achieve goals like other humans do but it is such a strain that it's not worth it. I don't feel any self-satisfaction from achieving anything... all I feel is my head feeling like it will explode.

What has your general doctor say? You said you’re 18?(suffering still from my mysterious episode so cognitive impairment is thete$ do you get your regular annual lab work? I would request a full thyroid panel (depending on your insurance ect) maybe something metabolic I believe was mentioned early
Definitely get the thyroid
Do these symptoms come and go or are they consistent ? Since they started did it progress or did you get all of this in an instant?
Were you sick in any memorable way perhaps 4 months before this started?
So you have any family members even extended with any health problems,passed early? Stuff like that?

I’m asking because those types of questions can narrow things down a bit

I know not feeling right in your body and brain and people think our younger generation are all just dramatic and blah blah But I believe you. Just remember certain things can trigger or make your main health problem create more havoc or intensify everything that is going on
I’m 43 a mom of 5 biological and a few extra o kept along the way. My oldest is 27,24,17,twin14 year olds
We all have genetic conditions auto immune. Hereditary predisposition to cancers,most mental illness
Rare genetic disease that requires transplant (my daughter was 7 bone marrow transplant back in 2007. Children in New Orleans did it. She was the second child that was treated for her condition ever!
Detailed family history is your best friend
Sorry so long. Hopefully all this helps
