Psychiatric Symptoms

Meaning

Psychiatric Symptoms are clinically observable or subjectively experienced manifestations of a mental disorder, representing deviations from typical emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. These symptoms, which include anxiety, major depressive episodes, and cognitive deficits, can often be intricately linked to underlying endocrine dysregulation, particularly fluctuations in thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones. A comprehensive clinical assessment requires distinguishing between primary psychiatric illness and hormonally mediated mood changes.
