Abstract
Thyroid-related psychoses continue to pose diagnostic and treatment challenges for clinicians. Two case histories illustrate diverse clinical states associated with hyper-and hypo-thyroidism respectively and highlight the need to consider the possibility of thyroid disorder in all patients presenting with acute psychotic mental disorder. They also demonstrate treatment methods directed at control of psychotic symptoms and restoration of an euthyroid state.Keywords
