    Fluoride Thyroid DEPRESSION

    From the Facebook page of Irish scientist and activist Declan Waugh:

    "My oh my, within ten years of Ireland commencing water fluoridation admissions to psych hospitals in Ireland doubled. The main cause of admissions was depressive disorders. Fluoride is acknowledged to alter melatonin and serotonin levels in humans which can impact on mental health and contribute to depressive disorders. Fluoride is also acknowledged to affect the thyroid gland at low dose levels. Thyroid dysfunction is also known to contribute to depression."

    Abstract

    The relation between thyroid function and depression has long been recognized. Patients with thyroid disorders are more prone to develop depressive symptoms and conversely depression may be accompanied by various subtle thyroid abnormalities. Traditionally, the most commonly documented abnormalities are elevated T4 levels, low T3, elevated rT3, a blunted TSH response to TRH, positive antithyroid antibodies, and elevated CSF TRH concentrations. In addition, thyroid hormone supplements appear to accelerate and enhance the clinical response to antidepressant drugs. However, the mechanisms underlying the interaction between thyroid function and depression remain to be further clarified. Recently, advances in biochemical, genetic, and neuroimaging fields have provided new insights into the thyroid-depression relationship.
