So, I'm a little confused about Hashimotos disease for real, the way I perceived it was that it eventually led to hypothyroidism. So then I am wondering, is Hashimotos a separate disease and if so what exactly is it and how is it different from hypothyroidism. I guess I'm also just in general wondering what Hashimotos even means.

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and reduced hormone production. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. Hashimoto's disease is one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism. So, while they are related, Hashimoto's is a specific autoimmune disorder that can lead to hypothyroidism as a result of the immune system attacking the thyroid gland.
