title: Thyroid parameters during therapy with zotepine in delusional depression. Preliminary results.
abstract: There are only few data on the effects of atpyical neuroleptics on thyroid function. In an open pilot study of 12 inpatients with delusional depression, thyroid hormone levels and TRH-TSH test were determined during neuroleptic treatment with zotepine. No significant changes in triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and delta-TSH levels were found in this observation period (28 days).
