The endocrine system is made up of glands that produce hormones which act as chemical messengers to regulate processes in the body. Hormones are produced in low amounts but target specific cells to control functions like metabolism, growth, fertility, and mood. Some common hormones include insulin from the pancreas, melatonin from the pineal gland, adrenaline from the adrenal glands, and endorphins from the pituitary gland. Hormonal imbalances can cause a range of physical and mental health issues that require treatment, as leaving them untreated may lead to long-term health problems. Symptoms of imbalance include fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and fertility issues.
