What Is Klinefelter Syndrome?
7. Depression
Klinefelter syndrome will sometimes result in hypogonadism, which is lower than usual testosterone levels. This, in turn, can result in a number of unwelcome behavioral symptoms in addition to their physical symptoms. Klinefelter syndrome will also make it more likely that the patient will have autism spectrum disorder.
The patient can also be immature emotionally, while they will also sometimes display impulsive behavior. They can also suffer from a low self-esteem, and the patient is also likely to struggle socially. In some cases, Klinefelter syndrome will also result in the patient becoming depressed, and this will sometimes result in the patient taking their own life.
