Long term stress can damage the immune system and disrupt the body's normal chemical balance by constantly elevating levels of cortisol and other stress hormones which depletes energy, makes it difficult to sleep, and can lead to stress related disorders that affect the majority of Americans. Chronic stress causes the body to recalibrate to a new higher level of stress as a "new homeostasis" and can desensitize receptors related to pleasure and happiness over time with constant overexposure and overstimulation of the fear and stress response.
