Whichever viewpoint is accurate, the controversy should make one point perfectly clear:  this ongoing debate stands in the way of reaching a conclusive decision about this condition, which results in those who suffer from its health-impairing and life-impairing symptoms being in a very difficult position. 

If a potential patient seeks help from a practitioner who believes that adrenal fatigue syndrome is simply a trendy label for an unspecified variety of symptoms and does not exist as an actual condition, or whether she gains this diagnosis from a practitioner who is all too willing to pump her up with the most popular medications or try whatever “natural” treatment or “folk remedies” may be currently popular, the person is not receiving the proper health care that she needs. 

When the medical community cannot agree on what adrenal fatigue syndrome is and what it is not, it leaves the person who is afflicted with these symptoms with few options;  and receiving no treatment, or improper treatment, leads to the possibility of the patient developing much more serious related conditions.  When left untreated, death from complications can also result.  Needless to say, patients deserve better than this.

Considering the variations in symptoms which make up adrenal fatigue syndrome, it is not surprising that many fail to determine whether it is primarily medical, primarily psychiatric, or entirely psychosomatic in nature.  These discrepancies are further complicated by the fact that this condition can be brought on by either extreme psychological stress or viral infection. 

However, regardless of these factors, being able to determine the existence of this condition by a relatively simple series of tests should allow any reputable practitioner to decide whether or not the adrenal glands are working properly, and, if not, to realize that this necessitates treatment. 

In administering these tests, adrenal fatigue syndrome can either be ruled out or diagnosed and treated.  For the large percentage of the medical community to dismiss it as a condition which does not exist, and others to employ tactics which could be referred to as quack medicine, is unconscionable. 

Whether adrenal fatigue syndrome leads to other, more serious conditions or not, the patient should not be in the position of having to live with its debilitating symptoms.  Nor should she be in the positionof being accused of laziness, hypochondria, or fabricating illnesses because she does not wish to work. 

Whether the focus is on the causual factors, symptoms, or even treatment, there are two main points to keep in mind.  First, persistent or recurring stress can cause serious health problems and even result in premature death;  and second, in light of that point, adrenal fatigue syndrome is something which must be addressed by the medical community as a whole.
