1)complicated 2) yes: At the risk of self-promotion, check out my post re endocrine society's latest guidelines re adult growth hormone deficiency. Symptoms include depression, cognitive dysfunction, quality of life issues, body composition changes for worse, loss of bone mineral density & more. Pituitary adenomas & traumatic brain injury (think repetitive concussions) are leading causes of ghd in adults.
