Question

Any alteration in the hormonal regulation during the age of adolescence can lead to physical and mental retardation explain how?

Answer 1

Hormonal irregularities can include thyroid, reproductive or growth hormone. Each hormone has a specific role in the body and any alteration which is highly divergent from normal can cause retardation. This is more conspicuous in adolescence as this is the age for onset of puberty which requires multiple hormones working in a coordinated manner.
