> I read recently that HPA axis dysregulation- the "stress cascade", may also cause hypothyroidism. I always thought it was the other way around- that a person became hypothyroid, and could have some depression as a result. Getting my TSH down low- with Cytomel, not Synthroid- has really helped me. More and more psychiatrists are becoming familiar with that, I think.
I'm glad to hear this is becoming more common. People can become insulin-resistant. Why is it so hard to postulate thyroid resistance? Normal TSH, with weak response. Some people just do better with some T3 handed to them. So what if it messes with the TSH score, IMHO. It is the subjective response that matters.
