> Be careful when trying to "out-think" the brain using our best of logic because our understanding of it is so limited. To your brain, it makes perfect sense that T3 (triiodothyronine / Cytomel) would make your depression worse. It is what it is. In the meantime, we must respond to such observations with an inductive logic that will allow us to conclude that T3 is probably exacerbating your depression.Words of wisdom, my friend. I'm reminded of a quote -- I' sure you've heard it:
If the human brain were so simple
That we could understand it,
We would be so simple
That we couldn't.(Attributed to Emerson Pugh)
Of course we are forced to try to understand, in order to treat ourselves and our ailments, and we constantly need to change our theories when we encounter new facts, like this one.
