Some Peculiarities in the Mental Health Status of Children with Nontoxic Diffusegoiter as a Sign of Unfavorable Course

Abstract

Pathology of the thyroid gland has a negative impact on mental health at all stages of his life. In the article, we have shown that statistical credibility of mental disorders has been established in adolescents with nontoxic diffuse goiter in the form of organic asthenic disorders, neurotic disturbances, somatoform vegetative dysfunctions which occur significantly more often than the same in adolescents with normal volume of the thyroid gland. Frequency of disorders does not depend on the functional state of the thyroid gland.
