People with MTC can also experience mood changes. These may be due to the hormonal imbalances caused by the cancer or could be a response to dealing with a chronic illness.

Mood changes can manifest in various ways including increased irritability, anxiety, or depression. Recognizing these changes can be difficult, but they can provide an important clue to diagnosing MTC, especially when combined with other symptoms.

If you’re experiencing mood changes, it’s important to discuss this with a healthcare provider. They can recommend strategies to manage these symptoms and may refer you to a mental health specialist if necessary. (12)
