Dr. Diane Mueller explains why standard thyroid tests miss crucial markers. Most labs only check TSH and free T4, but reverse T3 and free T3 matter when evaluating depression and medication tapering.

Too frequently. I see with thyroid, just TSH, the brain hormone that stimulates the thyroid, or free T4, which is inactive thyroid hormone. So those are oftentimes the only two markers that are run. And we're not looking at very commonly reverse T3, which will block the thyroid hormone, or free T3, which is the thyroid hormone that is actually active, that actually does the activity that that thyroid hormone is needed to do. So these are kind of the overarching things to think about when we're thinking about depression, thyroid microbes, and getting off a medication.
