When my first thyroid tests were done, I had a "borderline" TSH level, and normal t3 and t4. But, my doc said that elevated tsh, even if not out of the "normal" range, could indicate slight, subclinical hypothyroid, and in any event, studies have shown that it is an indication that thyroid meds can help the patient respond better to antidepressants. I guess this is an example of why having an experienced psychopharmocologist interpret the lab results is important. To a general internist, my results might have looked passable.
