Improvement of depression in a patient with hypothyroidism and deiodinase polymorphism with LT3 Therapy

Abstract We report a 54‐year‐old man with treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) and hypothyroidism who responded to LT3/LT4 combination, rather than LT4 alone. He was able to discontinue all antidepressant medications eventually. Interestingly, the patient has a DIO2 polymorphism.
