		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of psychological factors, full-blown depression symptoms can arise when thyroid hormone T3 does not convert to sufficient levels of T4 in the body.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll write more on this another time, but for today I simply wanted to get the news out that <strong>chemical depression</strong> can often be easily diagnosed with more thorough testing of thyroid hormones.</p>
<p>When clinicians test thyroid function, they usually omit to ask for a measure of T4, since that hormone isn&#8217;t actually produced by the thyroid gland.  The thyroid produces T3, which is &#8220;converted&#8221; to T4 in the body.  So you can have plenty of T3, and yet be deficient in T4.</p>
<p>A deficiency in T4 often indicates &#8220;sick euthyroid syndrome&#8221; which is the result of sustained high cortisol (stress) hormone. The person can have <strong>all the symptoms of severe clinical depression</strong>, with no psychological factors at play.</p>
<p>There is no treatment for SES except perhaps a magnesium supplement, and doctors agree that the condition should <strong>not be treated with medication</strong>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;treatment&#8221; in fact is a proper convalescence period in which the person is allowed a completely stress-free existence, without work or other duties.  With correct rest, the endocrine system (which produces hormones and which is &#8220;out of balance&#8221; in SES) quickly returns to normal function.</p>
