Discussion:
Glucocorticoids and Stress
I need help on answering the following questions. Than I will expand the assignment to a 3 page paper.
Glucocorticoids help individuals to adapt to stressful situations, but when these levels remain elevated the HPA axis can become dysregulated. This dysregulation contributes to a variety of mood disorders such as depression (Helmeich et al., 2008).
1. Does this occur over a long period of chronic stress?
2. Can the impact be reversed or is the damage permanent?
Any thoughts or ideas are welcome and would be appreciated.
