Its commonly  known usually as "Graves Rage" if your daughters are tested for Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism with a simple TSI test.
At least ask your Daughter if she will get this blood test done....if nothing but to rule it out.

Unfortunately you might have to get a psychiatric order to get her taken to a hospital. As her mother and if she is so bad, you will have the right to do this. You will have to say though, that you fear she could self-harm or you feel threatened by her. (Even if this is not true, they take that more seriously than just a thyroid issue)

One of the worst things about being hyperthyroid in extreme is the fact it can make you psychotic. Many hospitals now test thyroid when a patient is brought in for psychotic episodes.

Left untreated she may well do something drastic. I urge you to call a hospital and ask her to organise getting her to psychiatric help as soon as possible. You will not regret doing this.

I hope it all goes well.
