Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am working with a client who has c/o upper body heat...hot, sweaty while the lower limbs feel cold. She is an office worker. Hx of significant constipation...BM only every 4-7 days. Only medication she takes is lithium for bipolar disorder. Any ideas?
but it is not due to bipolar illness and even not due to lithium
for lithium u can go for serum lithium level to check its toxicity etc???
mostly its is due to her physical illness go for routine check up and specially thyroid profile
both physical and mental illness co exist in same person so if person mentally ill than y should not ignore his physical health so take physician consultation and be safe thank you
