Popis: Case Report The association between disorders of thyroid function and psychiatric symptomatology is well established. Affective symptoms (nervousness, depression, emotional lability, or manic behavior), anxiety, sleep disturbance and cognitive impairement seem to be the most common psychiatric manifestations found in untreated hyperthyroid patients and occasionally these could be the first manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. Psychotic symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism without affective or cognitive disturbances are uncommon, and there are very few cases reported in the literature.
