ReviewPsychological distress and quality of life in endocrine disease.
Despite an upsurge of research in psychoneuroendocrinology, there has been very little interest in the psychological aspects of clinical care in endocrine disease. The clinical and research implications of quality of life in endocrinology (life events preceding disease onset, psychological distress associated with acute illness and convalescence, abnormal illness behavior) are discussed.
