Diabetes ü diabet- breach in the development of pancreatic hormone.
ü Hypogonadism - impaired function of the gonads.
ü Cushing - too active work of the adrenal glands.
ü gipokortitsizm - on the contrary, weakening the adrenal glands.
ü Hypothyroidism - insufficiently active work of the thyroid gland.
ü Hyperthyroidism - thyroid hyperactivity.

Developing mental disorders, may preinfarction or Pre-stroke conditions ensue hypertensive crisis. For example, people with hyperthyroidism often detect heart failure and atrophy of muscle tissue and joint diseases.
