Adrenal System Strain

Meaning

Adrenal System Strain is a clinical state characterized by a compromised functional capacity of the adrenal glands, resulting from chronic or overwhelming physiological and psychological stress. This prolonged burden disrupts the delicate balance of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis, which is the body’s central stress response system. It is not a disease entity itself but rather a spectrum of neuroendocrine maladaptation. Individuals often experience a constellation of non-specific symptoms, reflecting the body’s struggle to maintain allostatic equilibrium. Clinically, this state requires a nuanced approach to re-establish proper endocrine communication and systemic resilience.
