Does anyone know anything about Addison's?

I was curious what my salt cravings could be a symptom of so I googled (dont worry I'm not stressing about the results it gave, just interested!!!) and it came up with Addisons.

It also said that anx and depression can be symptoms as sufferers have dont produce the right amounts of cortisol to deal with mental/physical stress.

Just interested to know if anyone has this or knows anyone that has it and how it presents?
