ABSTRACT
Psychotropic medications have a series of neurobiological effects which may be related to adverse effects. The endocrinological side effects may affect prolactin and thyroid, parathyroid and antidiuretic hormones. They may also influence the appearance of metabolic syndrome, gonadal and sexual problems. There disturbances must be borne in mind to prevent or detect them on time,since they may affect the compliance with the treatment. This revision focuses on the relationship between psychotropic drugs, antidepressants, mood stabilizers and gonadal function. As a general recommendation, patients using these medications should be monitored for menstrual and fertility disturbances, weight change, hirsutism, galactorrhea and changes in libido and sexual life.
