Neurological soft signs and thyroid hormones in schizophrenia spectrum disorders
Lower fT4 levels were associated with NSS severity and specific NSS subdomains only in male individuals. In the overall sample, we detected a significant negative correlation between fT3 and negative symptoms. Future studies should examine a larger sample of drug-naïve individuals with SSDs, followed-up longitudinally in time to infer causality.
