ABSTRACT
Although psychic changes are an integral part of the clinical manifestations of hypothyrosis, in traditional literature it is always especially pointed out that this category of patients usually acquires the conditions for developing rough disorders, psychoses. Nevertheless, the results of this study indicate that the most frequent psychic changes are mild and atypical depressions, and that their frequency isn't greater in relation to previously studied patients with hyperthyrosis.
