"Type D Personality Linked to Hypothyroidism"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Neuroscience News
A study of over 3,500 individuals with treated hypothyroidism reveals a significant correlation between type D personality and poor treatment outcomes, including persistent symptoms and dissatisfaction. Over 50% of participants exhibited type D personality, characterized by negative emotions and social withdrawal, and reported higher levels of anxiety, depression, and dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes. The findings suggest a need for further research to explore the impact of personality traits on hypothyroidism treatment effectiveness and patient satisfaction, potentially paving the way for personalized interventions to improve quality of life for patients with hypothyroidism.
