It was first linked with psychosis by the Committee on Myxedema of the Clinical Society of London in 1888 when the committee found that half of the 109 patients they studied with myxedema (a physical phenomenon observed in some hypothyroid patients) had hallucinations and delusions, primarily when the disease was advanced.[22] This later led to the coining of the term myxedema madness in 1949 to describe the relationship between psychosis and hypothyroidism.[23] Hyperthyroidism An overactive thyroid can produce an excess of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which increases the bodys metabolism and is described as hyperthyroidism.[24] Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can include mood swings, tension, anxiety, interrupted sleep, lack of patience, and panic attacks.[25] Additionally, out of those diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, up to 69% have been found to experience depression.[26] Some symptoms of hyperthyroidism (e.g., weight loss, increased energy, and agitation) are similar to those observed in episodes of mania.[27] Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to produce too much thyroid hormone, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.[28] Hashimotos Thyroiditis Hashimotos Thyroiditis (HT) is an auto-immune disease in which the bodys immune system attacks the thyroids hormone producing cells.[29] The development of autoimmunity may be caused by stressful life events, puberty, giving birth or menopause.[30] In regions with sufficient iodine intake, such as in the United States, HT is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.[31] In some cases, HT may also cause a temporary enlargement of the thyroid gland leading to hyperthyroidism.[32] Patients with HT tend to report symptoms of depression and anxiety, which may impact quality of life.[33] Research conducted by Leyhe & Mussig (2014) found that HT patients may experience cognitive and affective disturbances even when in a state of euthyroid (when thyroid levels are considered to be normal).[34] It is hypothesized that the high levels of thyroid antibodies, which are present in patients with Hashimotos encephalopathy (a rare disorder that may be associated with HT), may cause brain alterations and could result in lower psychological well-being.[35] Patients with Hashimotos encephalopathy suffer from mental health impairments and are sometimes misdiagnosed with psychiatric conditions since individuals affected may experience changes in their personality, depression, anxiety, emotional instability, or failure to understand basic concepts.[36] Bipolar Disorder Current research indicates there is a complex relationship between thyroid function and bipolar disorder (BD)
