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.

Ja, dette skjer nok dessverre alt for ofte.. Og Emosjonellt Ustabil Prsonlighetsforstyrrelse ligner også bipolar lidelse hvis man ikke holder tunga rett i munnen mht. god nok kartlegging...
