Chronic stress is linked to cortisol through the continuous activation of the HPA axis, which leads to persistent elevation of the hormone [1]. Furthermore, individuals experiencing chronic stress display altered 24-hour cortisol secretion patterns [2], and high levels of cortisol are used in experimental models to simulate the effects of chronic stress on neurons [3].
