My daughter has over the last two years had several diagnosis, the prevailing symptom slowness of response, yet two ocassions of pscyhotic episodes.  She was just hospitalized for the first time and a thryoid panel identified hypothyroidism.  They have introduced synthyroid and continue also to treat with antipsychotics.  What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism that may present as a mental illness.  Also are their interactions between the synthroid and the antipscyhotic medications (first Seroquel and now Zyprexia, within two weeks).
