Organic brain syndrome associated with marginal hypothyroidism

JJ Haggerty Jr, DL Evans and AJ Prange Jr

The authors report organic brain dysfunction in two psychiatric patients with grade 2 hypothyroidism; one was depressed and one had a paranoid psychosis with depressive features. The depression and psychosis responded to psychotropic medication and L-thyroxine, but the cognitive dysfunction improved only partially.
