[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 146552, member: 15043"] I was listening to a podcast with a well respected psychiatrist, and he was talking about how in his practice he realized that a lot of people with bipolar, also had a thyroid imbalance. He reported on the podcast that he had an 80% success rate of either resolving their bipolar all together, or at least putting it into remission for large chunks of time, by balancing their thyroid hormones. I forget whether he was using medications in conjunction with the thyroid treatment. I want to say they were only using medication to treat their thyroid. Either way, hormones play a much bigger role in mood disorders than most people think. If correcting a thyroid imbalance can have this great of an effect with bipolar patients, I would assume correcting other hormone imbalances like testosterone and estrogen would have similar benefits. But you’re right, going on TRT and creating worse hormone imbalances than pre-TRT could potentially make a mood disorder worse, I would imagine. [/QUOTE]
