For me the psychological issues associated with Kallmann syndrome / CHH should have more recognition.
Hormone replacement therapy can help with most (but not all) of the physical symptoms and specialised gonadtropin therapy can help some patients achieve fertility.
However the fact patients miss out on both puberty and adolescence can leave patients with symptoms that last well into adulthood. The psychsocial impact of not developing correctly can leave some patients with poor body image and social confidence problems
Since Kallmann syndrome / CHH comes with a range of symptoms and severities it can affect individual patients differently. Interacting with patient groups to communicate with fellow patients can help patients learn more about their condition and hopefully form a positive outlook.
