The association between depression and thyroid function is well known. Both conditions express many similar symptoms, thus making the diagnosis and treatment difficult.
To find the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients with hypothyroid.
Cross-sectional study.
A total of 100 patients diagnosed as hypothyroidism were evaluated using Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) and Hamilton scale for anxiety (HAM-A).
The data were analyzed using the SPSS for Windows version 17.0 software. The quantitative data were expressed in number and percentage. The results obtained were compared using the Chi-square test.
Females constituted 70% of the sample. A total of 60% reported some degree of depression based on HDRS (males - 56.63% and females - 64.29%) whereas about 63% out of the total patients screened showed some degree of anxiety (males -56.66% and females - 65.72%) based on HAM-A. The most common depressive symptom among the males was depressed mood (73.33%) and among females was gastrointestinal somatic symptoms (68.54%). The most common anxiety symptom among the males was depressed mood (70.0%) and among females was anxious mood (92.85%).
Psychiatric symptoms/disorders are common in patients with thyroid dysfunction.
抑郁症与甲状腺功能之间的关联众所周知。这两种病症都表现出许多相似的症状,因此诊断和治疗都很困难。

使用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HDRS)和汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAM - A)对总共100名被诊断为甲状腺功能减退的患者进行评估。
使用SPSS for Windows 17.0软件对数据进行分析。定量数据以数字和百分比表示。使用卡方检验对所得结果进行比较。
女性占样本的70%。根据HDRS,共有60%的患者报告有一定程度的抑郁(男性 - 56.63%,女性 - 64.29%);而根据HAM - A,在所有接受筛查的患者中,约63%表现出一定程度的焦虑(男性 - 56.66%,女性 - 65.72%)。男性中最常见的抑郁症状是情绪低落(73.33%),女性中是胃肠道躯体症状(68.54%)。男性中最常见的焦虑症状是情绪低落(70.0%),女性中是焦虑情绪(92.85%)。
