A member asked:

If the hormones like prolactin, tsh, estrogen, progesterone etc are high is the body taking stress and anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress unlikely: Stress would be a very unlikely cause for elevation of all these hormones. You need a thorough work-up with a qualified endocrinologist to see of these hormones are actually elevated, and if they are, to discover and treat the cause.
