We present a case description of a 15-year-old youth admitted in a psychotic state to the Adolescent Department of Shalvata Mental Health Center and diagnosed as having Idiopathic Hypoparathyroidism. A review of the neurological and psychiatric manifestations accompanying Hypoparathyroid Syndrome is presented, together with several aspects we feel are relevant in reaching this particular diagnosis.
