Hormonal Imbalance from Pressure

Meaning

Hormonal Imbalance from Pressure denotes a state of dysregulation within the endocrine system directly precipitated by sustained psychological or environmental stress. This condition is characterized by chronic over-activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to prolonged hypercortisolemia, often coupled with secondary suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axes. Clinically, this manifests as a cascade of symptoms including reproductive dysfunction, metabolic dysregulation, and profound shifts in mood and energy levels.
