Hi,

i'm new to this forum. I am a psychologist working in a maximum security prison and just had a patient transfer to me that has been diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma. I am just familiarizing myself with the case, but there is some suggestion in the mental health record that without compliance with medications to manage this tumor, the patient has been prone to episodes of paranoid delusions, agitation, mood swings, and aggressive behavior. I was just wondering if this were a common occurrence with these types of tumors or if there is any information that can be shed re: a possible psychotic disorder and these types of tumors. Thanks so much.
