Imagine that you are employed at a local nonprofit agency and belong to an online community of people who work in the field of mental health. In a blog space, you are interested in sharing information on a particular disease that is related to the endocrine system function.

Select and research a disease or disorder related to the endocrine system. Refer to this week’s University Library articles to begin your research.

Write a 350- to 700-word informational blog post based on your research. Address the following in your post:

• Describe the general function of the endocrine system.
• Describe the selected disease or disorder related to the endocrine system.
• What are the underlying causes of symptoms of the disease or disorder?
• How is the endocrine system related to the causes of these symptoms?
• What are recommendations on how to treat the disease or disorder?
