The relationship between endocrine disorder and mood disorders is illustrated by the following:
Depressive symptoms increase before and during menstruation as some women complain of abnormal emotional arousal with tension and headache, and may stop menstruation in some cases of severe depression or mania. Depressive symptoms begin or intensify when the activity of sex hormones (formerly menopause) stops. Postpartum hormonal changes may lead to severe mood disorders, as well as after taking contraceptives.
Symptoms of obsessive and sometimes depressive symptoms appear in the clinical chart of Cushing's patients (as well as in some chronic treatment with steroids). There is an increase in the secretion of cortisol in some cases of depression and is indicated by the test of dexamethasone but this test is not qualitative, where there is in other diseases, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Patients with Greif (hyperthyroidism) may experience severe jaundice during activity. Patients with hypothyroidism have severe depressive symptoms in about 40% of cases. This condition sometimes starts with these psychological and mental symptoms before the appearance of organic and physical signs.
