Depression was long known to be a common symptom of hypothyroidism, though this is often overlooked now due to serotonin and psychological theories, and misunderstandings regarding the accuracy of modern thyroid blood tests⁵. “Depression has been the major affective illness described in hypothyroid patients. It has long been recognized that there is a strong relationship between thyroid disorders, particularly hypothyroidism, and disturbance in mood.” Blood tests don’t accurately reflect what's happening in tissues and organs, especially the brain. “The active thyroid hormone in the brain is T3. The relative hypothyroidism localized to the brain may be secondary to inhibited activity of the D2 enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of T3 to T4.” “Psychiatric presentations (of hypothyroidism) include cognitive dysfunction, affective disorders, and psychosis.

Within a fortnight there was an obvious facial change and she began to have insight into her hallucinations-admitting they were not real voices though she still heard them. After three weeks the cholesterol had come down from 250 to 120 mg., the hallucinations had stopped, and she said, "I feel different, I see things different, and my husband says I look younger. I talk different; I've lost that deep tone and seem to speak lighter." She was discharged a month after admission and continues to attend as an out-patient in normal physical and mental health. Soon after discharge, when she went to her grocer he said to her : "Are you a relation of the Mrs --- who used to come in here and went to hospital?
