stress & DEPRESSION

EMERGENCY TREATMENT

From a hormonal perspective, stress triggers a cascade of physiological responses mediated by the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. When faced with stress, the body activates the “fight or flight” response, leading to increased cortisol production from the adrenal glands. Chronically elevated cortisol levels due to ongoing stress can have detrimental effects on the body, including disruptions to sleep patterns, immune function, and metabolism.
Additionally, prolonged stress can impair the regulation of other hormones, such as insulin and thyroid hormones, contributing to metabolic imbalances and weight gain. High levels of cortisol can also affect brain function, leading to cognitive impairments and mood disturbances. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and healthy lifestyle habits is essential for maintaining hormonal balance and overall well-being. By reducing stress levels, individuals can support optimal hormonal function and mitigate the negative impact of chronic stress on their health.
