Chronic stress can lead to persistent activation of the autonomic nervous system, leading to long-term physiological changes such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels. It is not temporary, involves excessive activity of the sympathetic nervous system (not parasympathetic), and is not considered adaptive as it can have negative impacts on physical and mental health.
