Hi Pfinstegg,
The McMaster studies were done by a Dr. Joffe
and colleagues; they are studies relating
thyroid malfunction to bipolar disorder especially;
and i vaguely recall reading in the Kraeplin book
that thyroid was a suspect and that manic depression
very much seemed like a disorder of metabolism.If you are more interested i will look up the articles
when i have more time today;My thyroid level may have been high when i had
panic and anxiety - Synthroid was dropped from 0.155 to
the present 0.112 after a long story/crisis.Presently, i am hypo. but my dr. says it is only
sub-clinical - the numbers: last one recorded
TSH 5.960
FT4 10.07
Lithium 1.52 (i can't believe i'm reading this;
no wonder if felt sick - i am dropping one 1/3
every Sunday and feel better).Squiggles
