Sometimes, instead of a hike to the therapist should be tested for hormones
One of my relatives asked me contact a good therapist, or even a psychiatrist. Says that husband became very irritable, around one sees the negative.
I knew her husband as a man of emotional, but kind and cheerful. Suspect he androgen deficiency, which is usually accompanied by such changes, I was not ready: it is still a young man, with a strong sexual constitution.
I decided to watch it myself. At the reception, he was depressed, questions answered, irritated and generally looked like something very grown-up (do not want to say the aged).
No complaints it was not, but to "all enraged" and extreme fatigue.
Outwardly, I noticed
🚩- small pastoznost (friability, edema) of the face, hands, feet,
🚩- dryness and loss of skin elasticity,
🚩- fading, dull hair, hair loss (even though he did not complain. But I ran a hand through my hair and in my handful of something left)
🚩- not some yellowing, but some kind of skin fading,
🚩- marked apathy, immediately after the cease contact him. It is worth to look away, and people just like blown away.
That such complaints can be assumed? Yes, anything. Starting from diagnoses which cope therapists or banal iron deficiency anemia.
But it was hypothyroidism - low thyroid function.
The man handed over a blood test (in the morning and on an empty stomach), on the TSH, free T4 and T3, prolactin, blood count, did ultrasound of the thyroid gland and regional lymph nodes.
After hormone therapy has become our friend the same, sparkling, friendly and healthy.
👉 So irritability, intolerance, the bad mood - quite often a kind of cry suffering body.
What would happen if the patient were immediately sent to a therapist? With high probability drugs would improve his emotional state. Or rather, to erase the negative emotions of the body in need of assistance. That is, the problem would not disappeared, hormone deficiency would only get worse, but psychologically the person would have been easier.
As you can imagine, this is not exactly a medication that a person needs.
The moral of this post is this: go to the doctors need. Sometimes you think that the problem has no solution - for example, suddenly deteriorate a person's character. But for a competent doctor your problem may be just a symptom of the diseaseThat must be cured.
Hormone replacement therapy in this case turned out to be - one little pill in the morning, which helped keep the family and returned the man himself.
