Authors studied the relationship between the depression and the thyroid function by measuring the serum T3 , T4 and TSH levels with the method of radioimmunoassay. Subjects were consisted of 25 patients (14 depressive states in major affective disordeer, 1 1 dysthymic disorder) who were treated at the department of Neuropsychiatry, Seoul Paik Hospital from Oct. 1983 to July 1984，and the controls were consisted of 25 healthy medical personnels of the same hospital. The results were as following: 1 . The serum of T3 and T4 of the depressed patients were significantly lower than those of the control group. ( p < 0 . 0 1 ) 2. The serum level of TSH of the depressed patients was not different from that of control group. 3 . The serum levels of T3 , T4 and TSH of the depressed states in major affective disorder were significantly lower than those of control group. (PC0.01) 4 . Compared with each subtype of the depression, the serum levels of T3 , T4 and TSH of the depressed states in major affective disorder were significantly lower than those of, the dysthymic disorder group.
