Risk of Suicide Attempt after Thyroidectomy: A Nationwide Population Study in South Korea.

CONCLUSION: Although the general risk of suicide attempt was not increased after thyroidectomy, patients with MDD showed increased risk of suicide attempt before and after thyroidectomy. These results suggest that suicidality should be evaluated when depressive symptoms are present in patients who have undergone thyroidectomy. PMID: 33321556 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
