- Abstract
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a disease which is characterized by hypothyroidism induced by autoimmune inflammation of the thyroid gland. This case was referred to the emergency department as a result of gas poisoning, during which the patient was referred for a psychiatric consultation because of her persecutory delusion towards her husband. During routine laboratory tests Hashimoto's thyroiditis was diagnosed which clearly explained her symptoms. Her psychiatric symptoms resolved in 10 days, after introduction of risperidone (2 mg/day) and L-thyroxine (0,1 mg/d).
