Endocrinology, Psychiatry, Biological PsychiatryAbstract
Introduction: Several clinical syndromes can present neurological and psychiatric symptoms. Objective: This article is focused on describing the main endocrines syndromes witch can be developed with psychiatric disorders. Method: A literature review was carried out by searching and analyzing articles in English at Pubmed with descriptors and complemented with references from primary articles. Discussion: thyroid diseases as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and diseases related to the adrenal glands as pheochromocytoma, Addison's disease and Cushing's syndromes and disease can cause psychiatric symptoms, either suppressing existing symptoms or intensifying them. Conclusion: it can be verified that the clinical psychiatrist must maintain attention to the clinical interfaces of endocrine diseases since these conditions can mimic the most common psychiatric conditions and must to know how to create a routine clinical and laboratory screening to exclude or diagnose these cases.
