Abstract
Acute psychiatric illness is associated with alterations of serum thyroid hormone levels including normal or high T3 levels and elevated T4 levels with normal or high TSH that have no clinical signs or symptoms and resolve within 2 weeks. This phenomenon is called euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia. We present a case of primary hyperparathyroidism contributing to a patient’s depression with psychosis that developed euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia. We also review the literature to present current thoughts about pathophysiology and treatment.
