title: Behavioral disturbances associated with endocrine disorders.
abstract: Patients with major endocrine disorders frequently experience significant changes in mood and mentation. Similarly, many individuals presenting as psychiatric patients have pathologic alterations in neuroendocrine function. Although pathognomic behavioral changes are rare, increased recognition of characteristic symptom complexes may lead to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment planning.
