Who is more likely to get adrenal fatigue?

No medical diagnosis: This is not an official medical diagnosis. Used commonly by chiropractors, naturopaths, etc. As this is a community of medical doctors, it would probably make sense to see a medical doctor and get an accurate, medically explainable diagnosis.

There is: no such disorder as adrenal fatigue. You can develop insufficient adrenal secretion if you are on high dose corticosteroids for a long period of time, but that's a real disorder. Adrenal fatigue is internet crap, not a true medical problem. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.
