> Seriously where did you read this. I found and pdoc confirmed that thyroid issues make depression/ anxiety much worse but haven't heard this theory. Thanks Phillipa
Hi Phillipa, I have been doing a lot of research on thyroid and this is what I have picked up, or it may just be my interpretation of what I have read. Here is an interesting bit...
"Furthermore, T3 given as an adjunct to tricyclic antidepressant drug treatment speeds recovery in some patients with depression, especially women...."
Don't know if this has any relevance to you, Phillipa, but it illustrates the interconnection between the thyroid and the effectiveness of some medications.
