Frequent symptoms: Weight gain in the face and trunk, muscle weakness, thin skin that bruises easily, marked stretch marks, and changes in mood.

The endocrinologist is the one who studies hormonal alterations like this, and in children the pediatric endocrinologist; the internist can provide guidance in a first visit. If you recognize several of these changes, discussing it with a professional helps to clarify its cause.
