Mental disorders caused by gonadal dysfunction refer to mental disorders caused by gonadal hormone imbalance due to physiological and pathological reasons. Generally speaking, it refers to various mental disorders caused by endocrine changes in female gonads at different periods, such as menstruation, pregnancy, delivery, postpartum and menopause (but there are also reports of male menopausal mental disorders). The difference between this disease and other mental disorders caused by endocrine diseases is that its clinical manifestations are mainly emotional changes, desire disorders, abnormal instincts (appetite, sexual desire), etc., and the symptoms are generally mild, with a good prognosis and no organic brain syndrome.
