title: [Endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders].
abstract: Psychiatric symptoms associated with endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders have been well recognized. Common endocrine/metabolic disorders that frequently cause psychiatric symptoms, thyroid disease, adrenal disorders, parathyroid disease, diabetes, electrolyte disturbance are reviewed, especially focusing on usage of psychotropic medicine. Psychotropic medication targeting each psychiatric symptom would be recommended for patients with moderate to severe psychiatric symptoms. However, it should be considered that psychotropic medicine might affect background endocrine/metabolic disorders themselves. Risk/benefit of the medication should be deliberated for individual cases.
