	~~Cushing's syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of the~~ [[hormone cortisol]] for an extended period of time. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including the use of [[corticosteroid medications]] or a [[tumor]] in the [[pituitary gland]]. The condition can cause a range of symptoms, including [[weight gain, muscle weakness, and mood changes]].		#REDIRECT [[Obesity]]

	~~== Causes ==~~
	The most common cause of Cushing's syndrome is the use of corticosteroid medications, which are often used to treat conditions such as [[asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus]]. In some cases, Cushing's syndrome can also be caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland or [[adrenal gland]], which leads to an overproduction of cortisol.

	~~== Symptoms ==~~
	Symptoms of Cushing's syndrome can vary depending on the [[severity]] of the condition, but typically include [[weight gain]], particularly in the [[face, neck, and upper body, muscle weakness, thinning skin]], and increased risk of [[infections]]. Other symptoms may include [[high blood pressure]], mood changes, and changes in [[menstrual]] periods in [[women]].

	~~== Diagnosis ==~~
	Diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome typically involves a physical examination, as well as a review of the [[patient's medical history and symptoms]]. Blood tests may also be performed to measure cortisol levels, and imaging tests such as a [[CT scan or MRI]] may be used to detect any tumors in the pituitary gland or adrenal gland.

	~~== Treatment ==~~
	Treatment of Cushing's syndrome typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the condition. This may involve [[tapering]] off of corticosteroid medications, or [[surgery]] to remove any tumors that may be present. In some cases, medications may also be prescribed to help regulate [[cortisol levels]].
