Association between depression and anxiety disorders with euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) affects up to 10 % of the population and is a common cause of hypothyroidism, which can lead to depression and anxiety. However, it remains unclear whether HT directly causes these conditions or if they arise due to HT-induced hypothyroidism. The present review aims to offer meta-analytic insights into the relationship between depression and anxiety in patients with euthyroid HT.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, SinoMed, and VIP from their inception through May 2024. Case-control or cross-sectional studies examining the association between euthyroid HT and either depression, anxiety disorders, or both were included.

Results

For depression, 1365
