Can Pituitary Adenoma Affect A Person's Behavior?
MY WIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF MEAN BUT HERE LATELY SHE HAS GONE OFF THE DEEP END ABOUT GOING OUT AND TALKING TO OTHER MEN. AND HAS CHANGED ALOT IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS. TWO YEARS AGO SHE WAS TOLD SHE HAD A PITUITARY ADENOMA COULD THIS AFFECT HER BEHAVIOR. THANKS

hello and welcome to HCM!
yes , Pitutary adenoma can cause change in behaviour by altering various body hormones. You should take her to a psychiatrist, may also be required to get a dynamic scan of Pitutary again to see the current status. The doctor would access her and then prescribe her the medicine. Treatment will help her.
Hope the reply is useful for you
