Cortisol Dysregulation Effects

Meaning

Cortisol Dysregulation Effects refer to the diverse and detrimental physiological and psychological consequences arising from an aberrant pattern of cortisol secretion, whether manifesting as chronic hypercortisolism, hypocortisolism, or a distorted diurnal rhythm. These effects represent systemic stress and metabolic strain resulting from a compromised Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis function. Clinical presentations frequently include persistent fatigue, compromised immune surveillance, accelerated metabolic syndrome development, and measurable neurocognitive impairment.
