I found this. It’s from 2011 though.
Thyroid adverse effects of psychotropic drugs: a review - PubMed.
Conclusion: Patients receiving lithium, phenothiazines, and tricyclic antidepressants TCA should be closely monitored for the development of thyroid function abnormalities. Only patients at risk for developing thyroid function abnormalities should be monitored when they receive typical and/or atypical antipsychotic drugs, nontricyclic antidepressant drugs, and carbamazepine. No specific recommendations are proposed as toward thyroid function monitoring for patients receiving any other psychopharmacologic drug.
My ex-girlfriend had hyper thyroidism. Or at least they thought she did

I have hypothyroidism. My hypo also caused adrenal insufficiency.
