Overview
Psychological Issues
In some cases, the psychological effects of having this condition can outweigh the significance of any physical symptoms.
The social stigma of being left behind by your peer group at a vital stage of physical and emotional development can leave lasting damage to some people. Some people with Kallmann syndrome find it difficult to fit into social groups and may have trouble in forming relationships both on the physical and emotional level. This might be more profound in people who are diagnosed later in life.
