If function of the adrenal glands is severely reduced, Addison's Disease may develop. Fatigue, moodiness, nausea and discoloration of the skin occur. If the adrenals are overactive, a rare disease called Cushing's Syndrome may occur. Those suffering from Cushing's Syndrome often experience muscle atrophy, red marks on the face and swollen eyelids. Cognitive therapy, counseling, and biofeedback can aid in stress management.
