Clinical Trial Summary

Thyroid dysfunction in major psychiatric disorders in psychiatric patients admitted to psychiatric unit of assiut university hospital

Description:

Thyroid hormones play a key role in the development, metabolism and functioning of many organs and have a profound influence on the human brain and behaviour. the coexistence of thyroid insufficiency with mental disorders was recognized . Mental disorders accounted for 6 of the 20 leading causes of disability worldwide for the most productive section of the population.Thyroid diseases can present with various neuropsychiatric manifestations which include mood, anxiety, psychotic, and cognitive disorders.Thus, thyroid function tests are routinely checked in psychiatric patients, While dealing with neurocognitive or neuropsychiatric manifestations,thyroid disorders should be ruled out by appropriate thyroid function tests which include Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3, free T4 and reverse T3.Multiple studies on the prevalence of thyroid dysfunctions on psychiatric patients in different populations were done and reported .the presence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorder as well as mood disorders .Mental disorders merge highly with thyroid disease.Bio-psycho-social medical model are important for treatment of mental disorders associated with thyroid dysfunction .Till now, there is no literature on the rates of thyroid dysfunction among psychiatric patient in our population in assiut university hospital which can be helpful in the proper management of the cases.
