Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to a range of symptoms like irritability, muscle weakness, sleep problems, rapid heartbeat, heat intolerance, diarrhea, and weight loss. It matters because these symptoms can significantly affect daily functioning and quality of life, though symptoms vary between individuals and may be less severe in elderly people and during pregnancy.

甲状腺功能亢进症（Hyperthyroidism），又稱甲狀腺機能亢進症，簡稱甲狀腺亢進、甲亢，是一种由于体内过量的三碘甲腺原氨酸（T3）和 四碘甲腺原氨酸（T4，也即甲状腺素）造成的临床症状。而甲狀腺毒症（Thyrotoxicosis）是因為任何原因，甲狀腺激素過多所造成的症狀，當然也包括甲狀腺機能亢進症。不過有時這二個詞語也會混用。其症狀及體徵因人而異，可能包括煩躁、肌肉無力、無法入睡、心跳过速、、腹瀉、甲状腺肿以及體重減輕。年紀較大或是懷孕中的婦女症狀較不典型。 有一種少見的併發症稱為甲狀腺風暴，其中也會因為感染使病情惡化，會有意識不清、發高燒等症狀，甚至會導致死亡。甲狀腺機能低下症是和甲狀腺機能亢進症相反的疾病，是指甲狀腺無法分泌足夠的甲狀腺激素。 甲状腺激素水平正常，而TSH水平下降者，应考虑亚临床甲亢。亚临床甲亢患者“可以”出现甲状腺毒症的临床表现。（而一般“亚临床”一词指的是疾病很轻微，尚没有临床表现）。
