Hyperaldosteronism (Conn's disease) presenting as depression.

Abstract

A case of muscle weakness with hypertension is presented. The patient had symptoms of depression. Diagnosis of hyperaldosteronism was suspected because of a low serum potassium and confirmed by discovery of an adrenal adenoma. The role of hypokalemia in mental disturbances is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on possible metabolic etiologies when mood changes, muscle paresis and hypertension coexist.
