Abstract:
This is a case of a 15-year-old Filipino male with a history of craniopharyngioma who underwent trans-sphenoidal surgery with panhypopituitarism as its sequelae. The biological factors of the patient's disease contributed to his persistent depression and were perpetuated by psychosocial and cognitive factors. A biopsychosocial approach was used in understanding this case to arrive at individualized treatment and management.
