  • Title: Acute mania in a patient with hypothyroidism resulting from Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.
    Author: Lin CL, Yang SN, Shiah IS.
    Journal: Gen Hosp Psychiatry; 2013; 35(6):683.e1-2. PubMed ID: 23906839.
    Abstract:
    Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroiditis that occurs frequently in middle-aged women. To date, there is no formally reported association between acute mania and hypothyroidism due to HT. We report a case of acute mania associated with hypothyroidism resulting from HT. Our patient's mania and hypothyroidism remitted gradually after the treatment with mood stabilizer/antipsychotic drugs and levothyroxine therapy. This case highlights the importance of ascertaining thyroid function and checking antithyroid antibodies in middle-aged female patients with affective symptoms to the hospital for the first time.
