Re: What are the symptoms of the under-production of Adrenaline in the body ?

Dear Daisy, 

There are no known or documented clinical symptoms or diseases associated with 
reduced function of the adrenal medulla and it’s production of catecholamines.  
If the adrenal glands have to be removed for some legitimate reason, there must 
be exogenous replacement of the glucocorticoid compound, cortisol, and either 
appropriate adjustment in sodium intake or replacement of the mineralocorticoid, 
aldosterone.  No replacement of epinephrine, norepinephrine, or dopamine need be 
considered.  I think the calmness of many criminals while they are committing 
their crimes is a learned response.  A mother and father work to instill and/or 
encourage the growth of an internal moral compass and then teach a child to 
listen and respond appropriately within this moral framework.  When this process 
is aborted, misguided, or twisted improperly, a person can engage in what most 
people would consider shocking acts of violence and be as cold as ice throughout.  
Certainly they do not have the normal release of catecholamines from the adrenal 
medulla but I think that they develop control of this function [by either active 
(teaching) or passive (omission) processes] rather than having a defect in the 
system from the "get-go".

Maybe you could do some research on this and get the answer.  Good question and 
keep asking,
