Chronic Stress in the context of psychology refers to a state of ongoing, persistent stress that continues for an extended period, often due to unrelenting demands and pressures of daily life. Unlike acute stress, which is a short-term response to a specific threat or challenge, chronic stress occurs when an individual perceives a sense of having little or no control over recurring or continuous stressors, leading to a prolonged state of physiological and emotional tension.
