Do the adrenal glands of people with anorexia nervosa or other stress related disorders hypertrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is a lot of interesting research on release of stress hormones like cortisol in various psychiatric illnesses (e.g. Ptsd, anxiety, depression), but no evidence for hypoertrophy of glands due to increased stress.
