    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Hypothyroidism can manifest with diverse psychiatric symptoms, including personality changes and psychosis.
    • Psychiatric interventions fail if the underlying endocrine cause is not addressed.

    Observation:

    • Severe hypothyroidism may present with minimal classical signs, leading to overlooked endocrine dysfunction.
    • A case study details a long-standing paranoid illness caused by severe myxedema with subtle symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Undiagnosed hypothyroidism can complicate psychiatric treatment and lead to adverse effects from psychotropic medications.
    • Masked hypothyroidism poses diagnostic challenges for both internists and psychiatrists.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing subtle hypothyroidism is vital to prevent treatment failures and potential iatrogenic harm.
  • Screening for hypothyroidism is recommended in psychiatric patients, especially when considering treatments like lithium.
