Hypothyroidism significantly increases the risk of severe mood disturbances, impacting mental health. This study highlights hypothyroidism as an underestimated condition affecting patient well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Psychiatry
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Previous research links hypothyroidism to psychiatric symptoms and reduced quality of life.
  • Thyroid dysfunction can manifest in various functional states, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
  • Assessing mood disturbances in patients with different thyroid states is crucial for comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate psychiatric symptoms in thyroid patients across different functional states.
  • To determine the association between thyroid status and mood disturbances.
  • To evaluate the impact of hypothyroidism on mental health.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cross-sectional study involving 254 thyroid patients.
  • Utilized the twelve-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) to assess mood disturbances.

  • Employed ANOVA and binary logistic regression for statistical analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypothyroid patients exhibited significantly higher GHQ scores compared to euthyroid and hyperthyroid individuals.
    • No significant differences in GHQ scores were observed between euthyroid, hyperthyroid, subclinical hyperthyroid, and subclinical hypothyroid groups.
    • Hypothyroidism was associated with a seven-fold increased risk of critical mood deterioration, independent of age and gender.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothyroidism is a significant, underestimated risk factor for severe mood disturbances and mental health decline.
    • Early detection and management of hypothyroidism are essential to prevent psychiatric complications.
    • This study underscores the importance of screening for mood disorders in hypothyroid patients.
