Why is it important?

Since a long time, scientists been wondering about mood disorder and thyroid. We try in some small way, to know their association and find if we can modify our practice in a day to day clinic.

Perspectives

Similar topics were investigated in various parts of the world. Through this study, we were able to find the high prevalence of cohesion of mood disorders, depression, and BPAD among others, then other parts of the world. This was a small study and I recommend that more large-scale​ studies be done to find out the community prevalence.
