OBJECTIVES We aim to determine the anxiety and depression levels of patients treated for hypothyroidism who assumed euthyroid status. These patients also frequently attend family medicine outpatient clinics. METHODS This study was conducted on 76 euthyroid volunteer participants (patient groups) who were treated for hypothyroidism and followed-up and 22 healthy volunteers (control group). Questionnaires were administered to all participants to assess anxiety and depression levels. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to all the groups. In addition, BAI sub-parameters were evaluated in detail. RESULTS At least mild depression was detected in 54.5% of the first group, 41.7% of the second group, and 33.3% of the third group. When the BDI and BAI total scores of the participants in different groups were compared, statistically significant differences were determined. Statistically significant results were detected related to different BAI sub-parameters between the patient groups and in comparison to the fourth group. CONCLUSIONS We found that patients were predisposed to anxiety and depression even if they were euthyroid. When the sub-parameters of BAI were evaluated in detail, we observed that the duration of the disease significantly affected some anxiety-related symptoms.
