Group 2
Hyperthyroidism
Grave’s Disease
hyperfunctioning solitary thyroid adenomas thyroiditis use of exogenous thyroid hormone TSH-producing pituitary adenoma pituitary resistance of suppression of TSH
secretion by thyroid hormone
Grave's disease (exophthalmic goiter)
Features
Psychiatric features include nervousnessfatigueinsomniamood labilitydysphoria Speech may be pressuredheightened activity level
a short attention span impaired recent memory an exaggerated startle responseIn severe cases may exhibit visual
hallucinations and delirium.
Differential Diagnosis Panic disordergeneralized anxiety disorderSocial and specific phobias
Secondary adrenal insufficiency results from deficient ACTH secretion
Tertiary adrenal insufficiency refers to deficient hypothalamic secretion of CRH
Symptoms of adrenal insufficiency include weakness, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia,
hyperkalemia, nausea, diarrhea, fever, symptoms, including fatigability, salt craving, weight loss, vitiligo, nausea, hyperpigmetntation, loss of ACTH stimulation test
symptoms of chronic adrenal insufficiency overlap those of depression
Pathology and Laboratory Examination
Laboratory findings: low serum concentrations of sodium high concentrations of potassium low or normal plasma cortisol concentrations
Treatment Acute adrenal insufficiency requires immediate treatment with intravenous
hydrocortisone in addition to fluid replacement with saline solution and potassium supplementation
Primary adrenal insufficiency Mineralocorticoid
e.g., fludrocortisone [Florinef]
Chronic adrenal insufficiency prednisone or hydrocortisone is administered
orally as maintenance treat
regulates the serum calcium through its effect on the bones, gut and the kidney.
Dysfunction of parathyroid gland leads to abnormal regulation of the calcium metabolism.
Hypercalcemia results to: delirium personality changes apathy cognitive impairments
Hypocalcemia
personality changes and delirium
psychiatric symptoms without the characteristic tetany of hypocalcemia is observed if calcium gradually decreases.
PROLACTIN milk production maternal behavior
inhibited by dopamine(PIF)
Factors that increases the prolactin concentration
higher level of depression stress intolerance increased irritability hostility
Gigantism

Acromegaly pituitary tumor
The nose, jaw, tongue, and soft tissues of the hands and feet become enlarged, as do the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Clinical features:
HirsutismObesityMale-pattern alopecia
Acne Irregular menstrual cyclesDepression
Laboratory Findings
Ultrasound: enlarged ovaries with multiple cystic follicles
Risk for: Endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma. Type II diabetes
secondary to insulin resistance associated with hyperandrogenism
Association between depression and hyperandrogenism in women
Treatment
antiestrogens : clomiphene (Clomid) Gonadotropins laparoscopic surgery low-dose oral contraceptives
