Thyroid dysfunction and addictive disorders
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 4
Abstract
Various psychoactive substances including alcohol, tobacco, opioids interact with the hypothalamopituitary-thyroid axis (HPTA). Not only these psychoactive substances can lead to changes in the functioning of the HPTA, they can also bring about structural changes to the thyroid gland as well. Additionally, the pharmacological agents used in the treatment of addictive disorders also have clinically meaningful interaction with the thyroid disorders.
