Abstract

Chronic stress is a pervasive issue that significantly impacts both physical and mental health. Unlike acute stress, which is short-lived and can be beneficial, chronic stress persists over extended periods, leading to a range of adverse health outcomes. This paper explores the myriad physical, mental, and behavioral consequences of chronic stress, emphasizing the underlying physiological mechanisms and potential long-term health implications. Through a comprehensive literature review and data analysis utilizing Python, we aim to provide an in-depth understanding of chronic stress and its effects. Key findings include the critical roles of cortisol and other stress-related chemicals in exacerbating health issues, and the potential for the normalization of high stress levels as an adaptive yet harmful response.
