Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Panic disorder is a common anxiety condition.
  • Hyperthyroidism involves overactive thyroid hormone production.

Observation:

  • Two women experienced worsening panic disorder alongside hyperthyroid symptoms.
  • Clinical signs of hyperthyroidism were observed in both patients.

Findings:

  • Thyroid hormone levels were elevated, and TSH levels were undetectable.
  • This confirmed the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.

Implications:

  • Routine thyroid function assessment is vital for panic disorder patients.
  • Consider thyroid screening in patients with partial treatment response or symptom exacerbation.
