description Cushing’s syndrome (CS) may present with different neurological and/or psychiatric symptoms including anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment and psychosis. Psychosis is a rare clinical manifestation, with literature limited to case reports.

This case highlights the importance of considering CS as a differential when ruling out medical causes in patients with either new or persistent mental health disturbances.
