Examination of 125 women with primary hypothyroidism was conducted to specify a prevalence of a depression and its severity and also to reveal change of indicators under therapy of levothyroxiny. The percent of persons without depression before treatment was the least. More expressed depression was revealed in the group of a manifest hypothyroidism at women of middle age. Direct dependence between the TSH level and indicators of a depression is noted. Against treatment there was an improvement of indicators, however symptoms of a depression were eliminated not at all patients.
