Abstract:
Endocrine disorders frequently present initially to psychiatrists. This article reviews the differential diagnosis of psychiatric and endocrine disorders. The range of endocrinopathies is presented, with emphasis placed on the common psychiatric symptomatology associated with these conditions. Various signs and symptoms that might stimulate a psychiatrist to pursue a work-up for each endocrine disorder are also emphasized.
