Answer:

Cushing's syndrome

Explanation:

Prolonged hypersecretion of glucocorticoid hormones by the adrenal gland causes a hormonal imbalance where the person begins to accumulate fat and lose bone and muscle mass.

Remember, one of the most important glucocorticoid hormone is cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, it usually helps us respond to conditions that are difficult for our body and where we need to use our strength and mental dexterity, when this hormone is elevate, we can respond to stress situations more easily. It helps us activate all the metabolism, as a result, we need to use more energy.

If cortisol remains elevated all day, despite not making physical and mental strength, our body will think it needs to eat, so people with this syndrome are always hungry, and accumulate fat. Thus leading to the appearance of the symptoms of the syndrome.
