Abstract

Background: Anxiety and depression are significant mental health issues affecting adolescents globally. Moreover, Thyroid disorders frequently coexist with anxiety and depression, leading to overlapping symptoms that complicate diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among adolescents and young adults with thyroid functional disorders and their associated factors.

Research design and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of endocrinology, from (June to August) 2024. Variables included were patient demographics such as gender, age, occupation etc. For anxiety assessment: Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used. For depression assessment: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used.

Result: In patients with hyperthyroidism, severe anxiety and depression are strongly associated with common symptoms like tremors, difficulty sleeping, and frequent bowel movements (p < 0.05). In hypothyroidism, severe anxiety and depression is also prevalent, especially with symptoms like constipation, forgetfulness, and muscle weakness.

Conclusion: Our study concluded that the mental health of adolescents and young adults is influenced by factors such as age, education, employment status, and thyroid function disorders - hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

期刊介绍： Implicated in a plethora of regulatory dysfunctions involving growth and development, metabolism, electrolyte balances and reproduction, endocrine disruption is one of the highest priority research topics in the world. As a result, we are now in a position to better detect, characterize and overcome the damage mediated by adverse interaction with the endocrine system. Expert Review of Endocrinology and Metabolism (ISSN 1744-6651), provides extensive coverage of state-of-the-art research and clinical advancements in the field of endocrine control and metabolism, with a focus on screening, prevention, diagnostics, existing and novel therapeutics, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology and epidemiology.
