Abstract:
A 78-year-old woman with a major depression and subclinical hypothyroidism was successfully treated with ECT. Her abnormally augmented pretreatment thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test normalized. We discuss the interaction of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and the thyroid axis.
