The objective of this exploratory study is to analyze the relationship between the psychological well-being and medical conditions and treatment of people diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome. The instruments used were the Psychological Well-Being Index (PWBI) (Dupuy, 1984) and Cushing's Syndrome Severity Index (CSI). The sample selection was done for convenience, considering that there is a very low incidence syndrome, 5 patients were contacted. Descriptive statistics were used to obtain information provided on the sample.
