THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF STRESS ON THE BRAIN

Stress causes permanent structural changes in the brain 🧠⚡

Difficulty concentrating, "chaos" in the mind 😵‍💫
Due to weakness in the prefrontal cortex and the centers in it that are responsible for decision-making 📝, concentration 🎯, and emotional control ❤️‍🔥. Result: you are anxious 😰, irritable 😡, and have difficulty concentrating.

Memory disorder 🧩
The hippocampus, an area of the brain associated with recent memory, becomes thinner, atrophies slightly. Result: difficulty reading 📖 and learning ✍️, difficulty with recent memory 🧠.

The constant fear of everything 😨
The amygdala, a region of the brain associated with fear, becomes hypertrophic and hypersensitive. Result: even insignificant stimuli are perceived as a threat ⚠️ and there is fear.

The result of all this is that the body is in a state of "fight or flight" 🏃‍♂️⚔️ permanently.
