They secrete the hormones Adrenalin and Cortisol, as well as Androgens; all are vital for our survival. The adrenal hormones are considered a top priority by the body, chief functions of the adrenal cortex are the regulation of the mineral metabolism (sodium, potassium, chloride), the regulation of water balance, the regulation of organic metabolism (utilization and distribution of carbohydrates, protein, and fat) and control of tissue reactions (such as hypersensitivity, allergic states, and collagen diseases) and the production of the sex hormones.

Adrenal dysfunction (hypoadrenocorticism),is a stress condition in which there is marked decrease in the production of these hormones.

These chief complaints are;

1. Inability to concentrate
2. Excessive fatigue
3. Nervousness & irritability
4. Mental depression
5. Apprehensions
6. Excessive weakness
7. Lightheadedness
