Psychiatric Adverse Events

Meaning

Psychiatric Adverse Events are unintended and undesirable psychological or behavioral changes, ranging from mild mood disturbances to severe psychotic episodes, that occur following the administration of a drug or therapeutic agent. In the context of hormonal health, these events are particularly relevant due to the profound modulatory effects of endocrine agents on neurochemistry and brain function. Clinically, careful monitoring for symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, or cognitive fog is a mandatory part of any hormonal treatment protocol. Prompt recognition and management of these events are crucial for patient safety and adherence.
