Summary
Modern developments in research and in the development of services have demonstrated the need for the better integration of mental and physical healthcare in various areas of medicine, including endocrinology. Years of research into the aetiology of depression and other mental disorders have demonstrated the importance of the stress response and the hypothalamic–pituitary axis in the aetiology of many common mental disorders. Where collaborative care or integrated care systems or interventions have been implemented, they have shown improved outcomes across the domains. There is a need for more naturalistic research in the management of complex comorbidities.
