Adrenal fatigue is real. Rest and destressing is most helpful. Best to find a doctor who understands it to help you if it is serious and some vitamins can help. Most severe cases, and I mean severe, can be treated with medication, most typically, steroids.

Addison's disease it total non function of the adrenal gland. If you have it without steroid treatment you are dead pretty quick. A day or two at the most and you are passed out, then death shortly after in the worst cases, which I have seen several times.

Adrenal burnout can't hold a candle to it. It can be treated with rest. May take many months.
