Abstract
The author describes the case of a middle-aged man who was admitted twice to a psychiatric hospital with depression. On the second admission, his mental state improved following treatment for thyrotoxicosis. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing such atypical presentations of thyrotoxicosis and postulates a possible depression-producing mechanism in predisposed individuals.Keywords
