    Glossary Chronic Stress

    continuous state of stress experienced over an extended period

    Chronic stress, also known as long-term or persistent stress, refers to a continuous state of stress experienced over an extended period. This type of stress can result from ongoing pressures such as work demands, financial difficulties, or relationship problems. It can lead to various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, weakened immune function, and mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. Chronic stress can also contribute to conditions like alopecia, where prolonged stress disrupts the normal hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss.
