(your lab results can still look normal) my mom took synthroid and it did NOT work, although her lab results looked normal. she was changed to armour(the active form) and was better in 3 days. good luck symptoms of dementia are definately associated with hypothyroidism. synthroid does not help some people much. it is a form of thyroid hormone that needs to be converted in the body to the active form. some people cannot convert it to the active form.

Maybe the better question would be is it possible to have hypothyroidism caused from untreated dementia. Dementia, being in a similar category as Alzheimer's, may result in the loss of affection for loved ones and even some romantic feelings. Being also that hypothyroidism's beginning stages include a loss of seratonin and hormones, you'd be safe to assume that one disorder could lead to the other. -Still talk to your doctor, (he won't think you're a nut) Sure, I’d say its possible, though dementia is a much broader scale disorder than hypothyroidism.
