Abstract : A 22-year-old female, previously diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder on lithium therapy, presented to us with manic symptoms. The blood investigations revealed elevated thyroxine and thyroid peroxidase antibodies and reduced thyroid-stimulating hormone with poor tapping function of thyroid on technetium thyroid scintigraphy indicating lithium-induced thyroiditis.
