Chapter 16.Endocrine Disorders
Sections
Excerpt
The relationship between endocrine disturbances and psychiatric symptomatology has been recognized for centuries. Indeed, it was these clinical observations and early controlled studies that spawned the now established field of psychoneuroendocrinology. The epidemiology and phenomenology of psychiatric syndromes in the most common endocrine disorders are reviewed as they occur in this chapter. Underlying pathophysiology is discussed when there are data available, but overall data are sparse. The cardinal signs and symptoms of each disorder are presented together with the psychiatric findings to assist clinicians in reviewing the context in which the psychiatric symptoms manifest.
