What Is Brain Fog?
7. Stress
Cortisol is a very important hormone for us because it makes us alert when we need to be. As we evolved, it was essential in helping to get us out of dangerous situations. Even in the modern world, it is still often important for us when it comes to difficult situations. Once the problem has passed then the levels of cortisol, and some other hormones, should return to normal levels.
If, for whatever reason, this does not happen then the patient is going to be facing prolonged periods of stress. This can lead to brain fog, and it can also lead to some other very serious problems.
