Causes of Endocrine Disorders
Endocrine disorders are typically grouped into two categories: • Endocrine disease that results when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone, called a hormone imbalance. • Endocrine disease due to the development of lesions (such as nodules or tumors) in the endocrine system, which may or may not affect hormone levels. ---- Webmd.com |

Endocrine Disorders & Neurologic Manifestations (2014)
Abstract The nervous system and the endocrine system are closely interrelated and both involved intimately in maintaining homeostasis. Endocrine dysfunctions may lead to various neurologic manifestations such as headache, myopathy, and acute encephalopathy including coma. [Article also notes that endocrine dysfunctions can lead to "altered mentality"] It is important to recognize the neurologic signs and symptoms caused by the endocrine disorders while managing endocrine disorders. This article provides an overview of the neurologic manifestations found in various endocrine disorders that affect pediatric patients. It is valuable to think about 'endocrine disorder' as a cause of the neurologic manifestations. Early diagnosis and treatment of hormonal imbalance can rapidly relieve the neurologic symptoms. Better understanding of the interaction between the endocrine system and the nervous system, combined with the knowledge about the pathophysiology of the neurologic manifestations presented in the endocrine disorders might allow earlier diagnosis and better treatment of the endocrine disorders. |

"In this video, Dr Mike is comparing and contrasting the Endocrine system with the Nervous system. Both are communication networks in the body but perform their roles quite differently." What's the Point?
