Adrenal fatigue

The term ‘adrenal fatigue’ is often used in the general media to describe an alleged condition caused by chronic exposure to stressful situations that leads to adrenal ‘overuse’ and subsequent failure.
However, ‘adrenal fatigue’ is not a recognised medical condition
The concept lacks scientific evidence, and the symptoms associated with it are often non-specific and can be attributed to a variety of other medical conditions
Careful evaluation of fatigue is required to identify the underlying aetiology
