Hyperpituitarism in the psychology context refers to a medical condition characterized by the excessive secretion of hormones from the pituitary gland, also known as the "master gland." The pituitary gland plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and the endocrine system. When it becomes overactive and produces an excess of hormones, it can lead to a range of physical and psychological symptoms, affecting an individual's overall well-being and mental health.
