If the pituitary is so important and Eric is not getting replacements of hormones the pituitary makes (except for ADH), why isn’t he dead? To answer this question, think through the cascade of events from hypothalamus to effect.

The absence of ADH is not too dangerous.

Explanation:

If there is no place for the storage of ADH hormone in the pituitary hormones, no death occur of the individual because ADH is related to the conserve of fluid in the blood. If this hormone fails to perform its function properly, it causes the body to retain too much water. This more water retention may cause you to feel heavier than normal, and less active so the person did not die due to the deficiency of this disease.
