Our patient's mania and hypothyroidism remitted gradually after the treatment with mood stabilizer/antipsychotic drugs and levothyroxine therapy. This case highlights the importance of ascertaining thyroid function and checking antithyroid antibodies in middle-aged female patients with affective symptoms to the hospital for the first time.
