Stress-Induced Dysregulation

Meaning

Stress-induced dysregulation describes the profound disruption of normal physiological and endocrine homeostasis resulting from chronic or severe psychological or physical stress. This state involves a prolonged overactivation or subsequent exhaustion of the body’s primary stress response systems. Clinically, this dysregulation can manifest as impaired hormonal balance, immune system dysfunction, and adverse metabolic changes, severely impacting overall well-being.
