Well let's put my theory to rest or find out that I saw right as when nursing was struck by the number of psych patients that had some form of thyroid disease. So my question is how many of you have had very complete assessment testing of all thyroid hormones tsh, t4, t3, free t4, free t3 and the autoimmune antibodies that indicate autoimmune thyroid problems as a lot are of that origin and what supplementations, medications work for you. I really saw a trend and since so many are treatment resistant this could provide a link to hormones and depression anxiety and other mental illnesses. Ana is anti neuclear antibodies which tests for all autoimmune diseases and other infectious illnessnes can have elevated Ana's and an elevated ANA can also be normal. Thanks Phillipa
