Shining a light on the burden of a rare disease like
Cushing’s syndrome

This is Cushing is an award-winning* global awareness campaign which aims to spread education on Cushing’s Syndrome. The campaign was designed together with the award-winning photographer Stefano Schirato and Federico II University of Naples Full Professors of Endocrinology Annamaria Colao and Rosario Pivonello to capture a moment in time of someone living with Cushing’s Syndrome.

 

Cushing’s Syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder caused by a chronic exposure to excessive levels of cortisol affecting less than 1 in 10,000 people in the European Union, which is equivalent to fewer than 51,000 patients. The disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular and metabolic complications. In addition to the physical features, psychiatric manifestations are also a significant part of the disease which drastically affect patients’ quality of life.
