Assessing Psychiatric Evaluations in Premature Thelarche and Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty Cases: Exploring Depression, Anxiety, Quality of Life, and Coping Challenges
Despite the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis not being active, we believe that PT cases may experience psychological impacts due to body changes. While PT cases may not necessitate medical intervention from an endocrinological perspective, addressing their psychological needs can contribute to a healthier overall process for these individuals. The study's findings highlight the need for healthcare providers to monitor the psychological status of PT patients alongside their physical health. Larger-scale studies including control groups are needed to clearly evaluate the relationship between body changes and psychological symptoms.
