Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that styles of adaptation, assessed with the Serial Color-Word Test (S-CWT, a 5-trials Stroop task), are able to differentiate several mental and psychosomatic disorders. Recent findings have confirmed a very high rate of cases of autoimmune thyroiditis (so called Hashimoto disease) among bipolar patients, suggesting an etio-pathogenetic relatedness between the two ailments. Based on the latter relatedness, it was hypothesized that the same styles of adaptation, which are known to differentiate bipolar and control subjects are also characteristic of patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.Questo articolo è pubblicato sotto una Licenza Licenza Creative Commons
