Exploring Gender Differences in the Relationship Between Thyroid Function and Aggressive and Impulsive Behaviors in Patients with Major Depressive Disorder
This study highlights the role of thyroid function, especially TSH levels, in influencing impulsivity and aggression in male MDD patients, suggesting a gender-specific physiological-behavioral relationship. The findings contribute to the development of gender-specific treatment strategies. In the future, longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes should be conducted to explore molecular mechanisms for more personalized treatments.
