Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the presence of hypercalcaemia with an elevated or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone level. In clinical psychiatry this is often detected on routine blood investigations. This article aims to help mental health professionals understand the relevance of PHPT to psychiatry and offers some guidance about further management of patients presenting with this endocrine abnormality in mental health settings. PHPT can be associated with both mental and physical health problems in some individuals, making it a crucial diagnosis that should not be overlooked.
