In reply to Case study of endocrine disorder mimicking bipolar, posted by mtdewcmu on May 7, 2011, at 14:12:38
Since my Mother had Addison's Disease the opposite of Cushings I've read up on both as once they thought I had Cushings do to urinating so much. I do know cortisone causes horrible psychiatic problems and hers was high as stated. And if she had thyroid disease why wasn't another autoimmune disease suspected? And for first time symptoms of a psychosis to pop up I feel a little old for bipolar. Yes stress probably or could have caused the raised cortisol. Many older patients also experience dementia. Endo could have done testing. Or the hospital. So much is mised in older people sad but true. Thanks for the article. Phillipa
