Coprophagia in association with depression and hypothyroidism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Coprophagia is a disturbing behaviour sometimes associated with mental disorder in humans which is poorly described and understood. We describe a case of hypothyroidism and depressive psychosis, associated with coprophagia which resolved with treatment. Further examination of this phenomenon and its relationship with underlying endocrine and psychotic disorder is required.
