We don’t completely understand  what’s happening in the brain, but one theory is that  the stress hormone cortisol may be continuously activating  the “fight-flight-freeze” response while reducing overall brain functioning, leading to a number of negative symptoms.
Ne razumijemo u potpunosti što se događa u mozgu, ali jedna je teorija  da hormon stresa - kortizol - može doprinijeti aktivaciji odgovora "borba-bijeg-smrzavanje" reducirajući ukupno funkcioniranje mozga,  stvarajući nekolicinu negativnih simptoma.
