In one study on patients with thyroideopathies at Hospital Escuela, Tegucigalpa, Honduras, four patients were found with psychosis, and high values of antimicrosomal, and antithyroid globulin antibodies. In one control study, the presence of ATA is associated to a high incidence of family antecedents of immunological disease, thyroids, and mental diseases--especially schizophrenia.
