How To Treat Anxiety?
My son was recently diagnosed with GHD syndrome and is now receiving hormone injections daily. He also has OCD and suffers from anxiety. He has been on the growth hormone for a month now and I have noticed a difference in his mental state, i.e. he is not as anxious, has a better time dealing with things. Is the hormone also helping with this?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Growth hormone also helps in maintaining mood in balance. It has been seen that in depressive patients some time due to deficiency of growth hormone, patients do not improve only with antidepressant. In these cases, hormonal therapy work. Same may be in your son's case. His mood would be better with hormonal therapy. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
