Psychiatric disorders and comorbidity in women with Turner Syndrome: a retrospective national cohort study

S. Thunström, U. Wide, et al.

This retrospective national cohort study examined 487 Swedish women with Turner Syndrome, revealing a surprising finding: psychiatric diagnoses in this group were lower than in the general population. Conducted by Sofia Thunström and colleagues, the research sheds light on mood and anxiety disorders' prevalence yet shows no increase over time or correlation with somatic conditions. Further investigation into care for women with TS is essential.

Abstract

This retrospective national cohort study investigated the prevalence and frequency of psychiatric diagnoses in 487 Swedish women with Turner Syndrome (TS) aged 16–84 years over 25 years. Mood and anxiety disorders were most common. No increase in psychiatric diagnoses over time or correlation with karyotype or somatic comorbidities was observed. The frequency of psychiatric diagnoses in the TS group was lower than in the general population. Further research is needed to ensure appropriate care for women with TS.
