Abstract
Hormones are classified as steroid, protein, peptide and polypeptide hormones according to their chemical structures. Peptide and polypeptide hormones: Oxytocin, leptin, ghrelin, corticotropin-releasing hormone, gonadal regulating hormone, vasopressin, cholecystokinin. The pharmaceutical industry has generally made great efforts to develop complex peptide hormone products, and studies have been conducted on different uptake pathways of peptide hormones in psychiatric diseases. Psychiatric diseases, on the other hand, are disorders that change an individual's behavior and lifestyle as a result of the mental and mental problems experienced by the individual. In this review, the effects of peptide hormones on psychiatric diseases such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression and anxiety disorder, and the applicability of peptide hormones as therapy will be discussed.
