A member asked:
So, "adrenal fatigue" is unaccepted/discredited. what about "hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction"? is that an accepted diagnosis? are the 2 related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a diagnosis: Adrenal fatigue is no longer used as diagnostic methods have become more sensitive and specific. Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction is not a diagnosis. It's a general description for several disorders where the exact site of dysfunction cannot be determined. For example, in disorders of antidiuretic hormone, the exact site of dysfunction is not determinable. The term signals this uncertainty.
