Hashimotos mistolket som bipolaritet

[Jerene]

Ja, hashimoto blir så ofte mistolket at det til og med står i Wikipedia:

...."Hashimoto's thyroiditis is often misdiagnosed as depression, cyclothymia, PMS, and, less frequently, as bipolar disorder or as an anxiety disorder. Testing for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and anti-thyroid antibodies can resolve any diagnostic difficulty. [2]

Hashimoto's when presenting as mania is known as Prasad's syndrome after Ashok Prasad, the psychiatrist who first described it.[3]"

Her står det masse om dette:

Den er dessverre klassisk. Skulle ønske jeg kunne sagt det var en nyhet, men det skjer hver dag.
