Your patient is currently 9 weeks pregnant with a history of hypothyroidism.  She is currently on levothyroxine and most likely need an increased dose of levothyroxine during the pregnancy.

How can the diagnosis of hypothyroidism best be confirmed?

Diagnose the following patient. Make sure to provide evidence as to why you feel they have that disorder. Also, include a treatment plan.    Mina, a 20-year-old sophomore living in campus housing, has been struggling for about 9 months with intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors centered on cleanliness and safety. She worries that failing to complete certain rituals could harm others or herself, and she often feels compelled to perform these rituals to reduce intense anxiety.  Obsessions: Fear of germs and contamination from touching doors, elevator buttons, or shared surfaces.  Fear of leaving a stove on or a door unlocked, which could lead someone being harmed.  Worries that she might accidentally cause harm if she forgets to repeat a task or phrase a certain way.  Compulsions:  Hand-washing for 15-20 minutes after class or touching public surfaces.  Repeatedly checking doors and windows 5-8 times before leaving her dorm or going to class.  Arranging books and supplies in a precise order and re-reading notes multiple times to “feel right.” Repeating a neutralizing phrase or counting steps to prevent bad outcomes.  These symptoms occupy about 2-3 hours a day and have caused her to miss some classes, cancel study groups, and withdraw from campus events. Mina recognizes the obsessions as ego-dystonic (unwanted and distressing) but feels unable to stop the rituals without a surge of anxiety. There is no clear medical illness or substance use that explains the symptoms, and there is no history of trauma reported.
