¶ … Thyroid and Hormones
In some ways, the thyroid, parathyroid, aldosterone, and antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH) all contribute to similar types of effects on the body, since they are either glands that secrete hormones or actual hormones themselves. Hormones help to regulate processes in the body. Many of the aforementioned glands and hormones regulate processes that pertain to water and electrolytes either directly or indirectly. The thyroid is one of the most sizable endocrine glands existent within the body and is located in the neck in the area that is close to where one's Adam's apple is (Tweed, 2015, p. 46). The thyroid plays an invaluable role in the regulation of other hormones because it essentially controls how responsive the body is to other hormones. Therefore, in terms of electrolytes and other types of energy that may be gained from conventional food and drink sources (such as water), the thyroid dictates how rapidly the body actually utilizes that energy through the creation of various thyroid hormones.
Parathyroid glands are much smaller endocrine glands (Thompson, 2014, p. 246) that are located in relative proximity to the thyroid itself, which partially explains the similarity...
The parathyroid is responsible for the secretion of parathyroid hormones, which have an indirect effect on water and electrolyte absorption in that they (and their secretions) dictate how much calcium is actually in one's blood and, by extension, how much is in one's bones. Although they address different processes and functions in the body, the parathyroid and the thyroid are similar in the way that they work. Aldosterone is one of the many secretions produced by the adrenal gland; it is a hormone. Its effect on water and the electrolytes that serve as sources of energy is indirect and pertains to its effect on blood. Simply, aldosterone helps to regulate blood pressure, which intrinsically relates to the body's propensity to retain water a, secrete potassium, and other valuable functions. ADH is a hormone that has some similarities to Aldosterone in the fact that the former also pertains to the body's ability to retain water. It also is involved in the constriction of blood vessels, which indirectly relates to its impact on the body as a mechanism to control water. ADH performs its water retention duties in the kidneys themselves by helping to increase or decrease water reabsorption as it is needed…

The subjects were 613 injured Army personnel Military Deployment Services TF Report 13 admitted to Walter Reed Army Medical Center from March 2003 to September 2004 who were capable of completing the screening battery. Soldiers were assessed at approximately one month after injury and were reassessed at four and seven months either by telephone interview or upon return to the hospital for outpatient treatment. Two hundred and forty-three soldiers
The study also revealed that 9% of those still in active military service developed psychiatric disorders. It concluded that many of them displayed psychotic symptoms other than flashbacks and dissociative symptoms. These symptoms are essential parts of PTSD. Most of the war veterans investigated exhibited psychotic symptoms of either depressive or schizophrenia. O the PTSD patients, 9% also suffered from major depressive disorder with psychotic features, while 11% had psychotic
