Hashimoto’s encephalopathy in psychiatric inpatients: neuropsychiatric morbidity, diagnostic challenges and treatment
In conclusion, HE manifests as a distinct and severe neuropsychiatric syndrome in a subset of seropositive psychiatric inpatients. The emergence of a late-onset clinical picture characterized by a delirium-catatonia complex, particularly when refractory to conventional psychiatric treatment, warrants a high index of suspicion for HE. A multimodal diagnostic approach is essential for accurate identification, enabling the timely initiation of immunotherapy to ameliorate severe neuropsychiatric morbidity and prevent long-term disability.
