HiThanks for using healthcare magicAdrenal insufficiency is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce adequate amounts of steroid hormones, primarily cortisol, but may also include impaired production of aldosterone (a mineralocorticoid). Other cause includes the major contributors are autoimmune adrenalitis, tuberculosis, AIDS, and metastatic disease. Minor causes of chronic adrenal insufficiency are systemic amyloidosis, fungal infections, hemochromatosis, and sarcoidosis. It does not cause by psychological reasons. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
