Does hyperaldostronism cause depression and mood swings?
human
My husband has had hyperaldostronism for 19 years.He had one adrenal gland removed but the other cannot be removed.Over the past several months, he has become depressed, easily angered or agitated, and almost paranoid.  Is this common for the progression of this disease.

Hello,Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.Adrenal glands secrete a adrenal hormones which have influence on so many organs on the body. Yes it can be possible to have depression with both increased as well as reduced adrenal gland secretions. Paranoid symptoms can also come up. Its best to treat the cause. However if its not possible like in your case, it needs to be treated with antipsychotics like quetiapine.
