Chronic stress negatively affects both physical and mental health by elevating cortisol levels over time. It can lead to high blood pressure, weakened immunity, weight gain, and increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. It also contributes to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, and cognitive difficulties. Over time, chronic stress can disrupt multiple body systems and significantly reduce overall well-being.
