Endocrine Disorder Disability

Meaning

Endocrine Disorder Disability refers to the functional impairment and significant reduction in an individual’s capacity to perform major life activities as a direct result of a chronic, debilitating condition affecting the body’s hormone-producing glands or their regulatory axes. This clinical classification acknowledges that hormonal imbalances, such as severe hypothyroidism, unmanaged diabetes, or significant HPA axis dysfunction, can profoundly limit physical, cognitive, and emotional function. It is a necessary recognition of the systemic, tangible impact of compromised hormonal health on overall human capability and quality of life.
