Anyone diagnosed Bipolar or Depressive or BPD needs to have a thyroid level test and a thyroid antibody test done. It is a simple blood test. It is important to ask for these before beginning any medications.
Why?
Imbalance of the thyroid and/or thyroid disease (autoimmune) can mimic mental illnesses.
They can cause depression, mania, psychosis, and unstable mood.
Always rule out medical causes first.
