To study the psychosocial profile of patients of acromegaly in a developing country setting. Seventeen patients with acromegaly underwent a cross-sectional assessment regarding their socio-demographic and clinical profile, life events, social support, coping, dysfunction, quality of life and psychiatric morbidity. Seventeen demographically matched healthy participants (free from psychological morbidity) acted as the control group. The acromegaly group had predominance of urban married males (64.7%) with mean age 36.05 +/- 17.06 years (range = 15-61), and mean duration of illness of 36.05 +/- 42.5 (range = 4-240) months. Six subjects (i.e., GHQ-positive group) scored positive (indicating presence of psychiatric morbidity) on the General Health Questionnaire-12 giving a psychiatric morbidity rate of 33.33%, with five fulfilling an ICD-10 diagnosis. Compared to the GHQ-negative group, the GHQ-positive group had more number of life events in the entire lifetime, used significantly more number of emotional coping strategies, had more dysfunction, and poorer quality of life (in domains of physical health, social relationship, and general well-being). Psychiatric morbidity occurs in a significant percentage of patients with acromegaly. Presence of psychiatric morbidity is associated with dysfunction and poorer quality of life.

The main objective of this article is to study the psychosocial profile of patients of Cushing disease (CD) in a developing country setting. Eighteen patients with CD underwent a cross-sectional assessment regarding their socio-demographic and clinical profile, life events, social support, coping, dysfunction, quality of life, and psychiatric morbidity. Twenty-two demographically group-matched healthy participants (free from psychological morbidity) acted as the control group. The CD group had predominance of females (71.5%) with mean age at onset of 20.38 (range 8-38) years, and mean duration of illness of 65.33 (range 4-260) months. Six subjects (i.e., GHQ positive group) scored positive on the General Health Questionnaire-12 giving a psychological morbidity rate of 33.33%, with one having an ICD-10 diagnosis. There was no difference between GHQ positive and GHQ negative groups on number of life events, social support, quality of life and dysfunction. However, GHQ positive group used significantly more of internalizing coping strategies. Psychological morbidity occurs in a significant percentage of patients with CD. Presence of psychological morbidity is associated with internalizing coping strategies.
