Hi, my name is Íris almeida, undergraduate finalist in psicologia clínica at universidade lusófona de humanidades e tecnologias de lisboa.



As final graduation assignment I have chosen the origin and reason of prolactinoma and their implicit emotional and psychological effects.




Having a macroprolactinoma myself, I have decided to ‘go further deep’ on a study in which the origin of prolactinoma is believed to be caused by ‘parental’ factors such as alcoholic, aggressive or violent parents, absence on their own children’s childhood and, at a lower rate, by either husband’s or son’s loss.

People with prolactinoma, are also thought to be more aggressive, depressive, ‘hostility’ and anxious, in an overall way.




In order to start off my investigation I require the participation of prolactinoma carriers.

I need to get the most of this kind of individuals for my study, since a high number of participants prove to be crucial to form a reliable sample that can lead my study to more accurate results.




Data collection will be undertaken under anonymous participation, through a query form comprised by questions of both tick and quick answers, sent to participants by email.




In this first stage, I am willing to know who I may count with, in order to determine whether or not this personal project has credibility to move forward.




Hoping to have your help and understanding I thank you for your co-operation,



yours sincerely,



Íris almeida
