Thyroid problems are not necessarily autoimmune related. Diseases like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Ord's Thyroiditis are autoimmune diseases which occur because the body's own antibodies fight the cells of the thyroid while diseases such as Postpartum Thyroiditis (occurs because of the modifications made to the immune system during pregnancy) are not.
