This study was done to assess medication adherence, awareness in thyroid patients and to evaluate the depression and anxiety in thyroid patients using depression and anxiety scales. A randomised observational study was conducted, in the primary health care centres and through direct visits to homes in Hanamkonda for a period of 6 months. In the overall study we collected 406 thyroid patients' data in this 305 were hypothyroidism and 101 were hyperthyroidism. The total data was analysed using the scoring system to find out the ranges. From our study we concluded that thyroid conditions would affect the mental health condition of the person.
