This publication derives from the collaboration of endocrinologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and patients' advocates. Pituitary diseases, such as hyperprolactinemia, Cushing's disease and growth hormone disturbances, entail a significant degree of psychological distress and invalidism. Awareness of these problems have led to the development of patients' associations such as the Pituitary Tumor Network Association. This is the first specific monograph on the topic and provides an updated survey - enriched by case illustrations - of the main psychological problems which patients with pituitary disease may encounter. It will be of interest to both professionals, such as endocrinologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons and psychiatrists, as well as to patients.
