Lowered quality of life in mood disorders is associated with increased neuro‐oxidative stress and basal thyroid‐stimulating hormone levels and use of anticonvulsant mood stabilizers

Rationale, aims Major affective disorders including bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are associated with impaired health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Oxidative stress and subtle thyroid abnormalities may play a pathophysiological role in both disorders. Thus, the current study was performed to examine whether neuro‐oxidative biomarkers and thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) levels could predict HRQoL in BD and MDD....
