Yes, it is. And because it's endocrine, it affects your whole body. I ignored feeling tired and gaining weight for months, thinking it was just 'getting old'. Turned out to be thyroid. Don't delay seeing a doctor if you have doubts.
Yes, it is an endocrine gland. Because of this, when something goes wrong, the tests for hormones can sometimes be a bit costly. So, it's good to plan for regular check-ups, maybe look for health packages that include thyroid tests.
