Symptoms and impact of chronic stress
Some of the symptoms of Chronic Stress are:
-
Structural changes in the brain
-
Changes in hormones and neurotransmitters (cortisol,serotonin, adrenaline, dopamine, sex hormones...)
-
Chronic pain and fatigue
-
Insomnia
-
Increased anxiety and depression
-
Decreased absorption (vitamins, minerals...)
-
Decreased digestive function (less enzyme and bile production,less gastrointestinal blood flow, less motility...), less gut floradiversity with higher risk of dysbiosis, SIBO and Leaky Gut
-
Decrease in thermic efficiency and regulation
-
Increased risk for high cholesterol and diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure
It is important to note that, while some of these are also present in a Burnout, a state of chronic stress tends to be associated with some kind of ability to still function. Thus, many body functions are still activated to make it possible for the person to still engage in certain activities.
Chronic stress is connected to hyper or over-activation (fight or flight), while Burnout is connected with hypo or under-activation (freeze and shutdown).
