Abstract
Thyroid function was evaluated in 10 rapid-cycling bipolar patients who had previously responded to lithium treatment. Five patients had grade II and 1 patient had grade III hypothyroidism as determined by thyrotropin-releasing hormone tests. Treatment with thyroxine in addition to lithium significantly decreased the intensity and frequency of rapid cycling episodes.Entities:
