Hi,

>So you can have a tumor outside of your brain that releases CRH?

Yes, you can, but it's very rare. Can happen with conditions such as lung cancer, but it is extremely uncommon.

>that doesn't make much sense to me.. how is that possible?

Cancer cells are not the same as the surrounding tissue. Some cancers do release hormones.

>Is it because the tumor is connected to the CNS and this somehow releases CRH?

No, the tumours are not connected to the CNS.

>Are you telling me there has been no reports of a tumor in the brain releasing CRH?

There have been reports of hypothalamic hamartoma releasing CRH. This condition is present from birth and causes physical changes at an early age eg. seizures.

>Are there any signs you can look for on your body to see if a tumor is there if its not in the brain?

CRH-releasing tumours elsewhere in the body are cancers. It sounds like you've had anxiety and depression for about ten years? This shows that the symptoms are definitely not due to cancer.

The situation with most mental health problems is that no clear physical cause can ever be determined.
