【Abstract】 Objective To explore the correlation between postpartum depression and different levels of depression with serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), tetraiodothyronine (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Methods 110 postpartum depression patients admitted to our hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the depression group, and 90 postpartum depression patients who did not develop depression during the same period were selected as the non depression group. Detect and compare the levels of serum T3, T4, and TSH between two groups, and compare the baseline data (gender, age, education level) and serum T3, T4, and TSH levels of postpartum depression women with different degrees of depression. Finally, analyze the correlation between serum T3, T4, and TSH levels and the degree of depression in postpartum depression women through Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results The serum levels of T3, T4, and TSH in the depressed group were lower than those in the non depressed group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Comparison of serum T3, T4, and TSH levels: mild group>moderate group>severe group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); The levels of serum T3, T4, and TSH are negatively correlated with the degree of postpartum depression in postpartum women, and P<0.05. Conclusion The levels of serum T3, T4, and TSH are negatively correlated with the degree of depression in postpartum depressed women, which can reflect the severity of their depression. Clinical monitoring should be closely monitored.
