Differences in thyroid function between bipolar manic and mixed states.
Biol Psychiatry. 1998; (10): 730-3
High rates of thyroid axis abnormalities have been reported in most studies of patients with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. Mixed states share similarities with rapid-cycling, including close temporal occurrence of manic and depressive symptoms, predominance in women, poor outcome, and less robust response to lithium compared with pure mania; however, thyroid axis abnormalities have not been well studied in mixed mania.
