Hi guys, this are results from my friend blood work, he has severe anxiety.

 

Cortisol: 9.5 ug/dL (5.07-25.36)

 

Estrogen: 10 pg/mL (11-44)

 

Testosterone: 21.07 nmol/L (4.94-32.01)

 

Progesterone: 0.2 ng/mL (0.2-3.37)

 

 

 

 

TSH: 0.878 (0.3500-4.9400)

 

T3: 3.25 (1.71-3.71)

 

T4: 1.25 (0.70-1.48)

 

 

Is there anything out of order, and if yes how much it can affect his huge anxiety? thanks.

I know to read the default values, but afaik with thyroid normal values are often not normal. The other possible issue is the low progesterone

free T3 and T4 are very optimal (in the upper third of normal). Of the other hormones had much worse off values, without any anxiety issues. Only pregesterone I have no experience with.

His anxiety has nothing to do with the hormones. Anxiety, social dysfunction and depression seems to run genetically in Caucasians. That's just how it is.

It is probably some receptor mutation or issue breaking down a certain neurotransmitter, which is common in virtually all humans.

 

For anxiety you have elevated serotonin, elevated glutamate, elevated noradrenaline. It most likely is either a serotonergic or adrenergic issue, as it is in most people.

Overstimulation of glutamate can also cause anxiety, especially social anxiety. Reduced activity of gaba can potentially cause most neurotransmitter sources of anxiety as gaba is inhibitory across the board of neurotransmitters.

I am a caucasian (white race), and I don't have neither anxiety and social disfunction issues, nor a depression. Many caucasian people, that I know of, don't. I think, that your view is because too few people from the black and the yellow race go regularly to doctors.

Anxiety can be caused by hyperthyroidism for example. People experience overconfidence using anabolic steroids. So there is a direct link. But probably it's not a case of author's friend. I would recommend to use magnesium supplement for his anxiety and reduce caffeine intake.
