Psychosomatic aspects of hyperprolactinemia.

Abstract:

:A review of some recent studies on the psychosomatic aspects of hyperprolactinemia is presented. Women seem to be more prone to suffer from the behavioral effects of prolactin than males. Women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea rated themselves significantly more hostile, more depressed and more anxious than women with amenorrhea only and other control groups. Hyperprolactinemic males did not rate themselves more hostile and depressed than matched controls. Psychological distress and hostility appear to remit upon treatment with bromocriptine. Postpartum patients matched for prolactin levels with hyperprolactinemic women showed significantly less depression and anxiety but about the same levels of hostility. Hostility, depression and loss of libido may coexist in the same hyperprolactinemic patient but they may be also present independently.
