Patients with Cushing syndrome have a frustrating time dealing with their own lability and fati-gue. They need support and education and referral for assistance.

Hyperparathyroidism would result in anorexia, low serum phosphate, and increased serum cal-cium. Hyperparathyroidism would cause constipation rather than diarrhea and lethargy rather than agitation.
