The amount of time it takes to control the stimulus is different from how strong the stimulus is. There is correlation in a strong and continuous stimulus having long-term effects, but the main problem is that stress will worsen if the neuroendocrine circuits do not adapt to the stressor, no matter how small the stimulus is (Anderson et al., 2014; Mariotti, 2015). When stress becomes chronic the “GC-dependent negative feedback mechanism that controls stress response does not work” (Mariotti, 2015) causing resistance and the “molecular mediators to remain high” (Mariotti, 2015). Mental connections, the immune system, heart health, and the skeletal system are all at risk of damage and negative long-term
