The document discusses various thyroid conditions including: 1) Hyperthyroidism which can be primary, secondary, or tertiary based on where the problem originates and causes signs of a hypermetabolic state. Graves disease is mentioned as the most common cause. 2) Hypothyroidism which also can be primary, secondary, or tertiary and causes a hypometabolic state. Causes mentioned include Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is the most common in the US. 3) Specific thyroid conditions are described briefly including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, DeQuervain thyroiditis, subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis, and Riedel's thyroiditis.
