Does chronic stress affect your ability to roll with the punches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: Chronic stress esp. Emotional takes a great toll on a person, both physically and emotionally.Many hormonal and neurotransmitters are affected by chronic stress.Some believe that chronic stress causes the adrenal gland to become "depleted" of the hormones that help us deal with stress. With this depletion, our bodies can't compensate.Med eval psyc, therapy, exercise, sleep, healthy eating can help.
