Article Synopsis
- Chronic stress in children and young adults, particularly those with a parent diagnosed with cancer, can lead to increased functional impairment and higher levels of cortisol, indicating biological stress responses.
- A study compared 59 offspring of cancer patients to controls, measuring cortisol levels and functional impairment shortly after the cancer diagnosis and at follow-up.
- Findings show that while cortisol levels were elevated initially in the stress group, they decreased over time, yet higher cortisol output remained linked to greater functional impairment, emphasizing the need for early monitoring of mental health in these individuals.
