Abstract
The possibility of predicting the progression of protracted adjustment disorder by determining a complex of clinical, psychological and laboratory indicators (free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) in blood serum) is considered in this article. The following methods have been used: clinical, psychological (determination of HADS alert level), laboratory (determination of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) concentration in blood serum). 24 patients with adjustment disorders and thyroid comorbidity were examined. The tested indicators were compared with those of the control group (n = 15). The authors conclude that the determination of the features regarded as predictors of protracted adjustment disorder will make it possible to correct the treatment and improve its efficiency.
