Psychoendokrine Aspekte neuropsychologischer Funktionen: Die Hypothalamus-Hypophysen-Nebennierenrinden-Achse

  • Chapter
Neuropsychologie psychischer Störungen

Zusammenfassung

Der Patient P. leidet an einem Cushing-Syndrom. Sein Leben hat sich dramatisch verändert, seit aufgrund eines Tumors in seiner Hypophyse übermäßige Mengen der Stresshormone Kortikotropin und Kortisol freigesetzt werden. Äußerlich ist aus dem einst schlanken Mann ein fettleibiger Mensch geworden. Schlimmer für den Patienten P. sind die psychischen Auswirkungen der Hormonstörung. Seit Beginn der Krankheit ist er gereizt und leidet immer wieder unter depressiven Verstimmungen. Bei der Arbeit kann er sich nur mit Mühe konzentrieren, und sein Gedächtnis lässt ihn immer wieder im Stich. Erst seitdem sich der Patient P. einer Operation unterzogen hat, bei der der Tumor entfernt werden konnte, haben sich seine Hormonspiegel im Blut wieder normalisiert, und die psychischen Symptome haben sich deutlich gebessert.
