title: [Primary hyperparathyroidism--a frequently overlooked cause of psychological symptoms].
abstract: Studies in recent years have demonstrated that nervous symptoms are common in hyperparathyroidism but that they are often overlooked even in very serious cases. The mechanisms behind the symptoms have to some extent been surveyed and show that operation, which normalizes the parathyroid function, also leads as a rule to considerable improvement of the patient's nervous symptoms.
