Addison's disease, or primary adrenal insufficiency, is a rare endocrine disorder caused by the adrenal glands' inadequate production of cortisol and aldosterone. Symptoms develop gradually and include abdominal pain, weakness, weight loss, and sometimes skin darkening. A life-threatening adrenal crisis, marked by low blood pressure, vomiting, and loss of consciousness, can be triggered by stress, injury, or infection. Rapid onset of symptoms indicates acute adrenal failure, requiring immediate medical attention. Mood changes can also occur.
