Chronic stress releases cortisol, a stress hormone that can damage and affect the growth of the hippocampus. During times of stress, the body reacts by secreting stress hormones into the bloodstream. Stress can cause unhealthy changes in certain brain areas which can cause long-term damage. The longer you are in an emotionally abusive environment, the more deterioration of the hippocampus. Emotional abuse is devastating and can often be more traumatic than physical wounds.
