Stress, Cumulative

Stress that results from the accumulation of various stress factors including: heavy workload, poor communications, multiple frustrations, coping with situation of disempowerment, and the inability to rest or relax. This type of stress is compounded by the disabling aspects of daily life, including having to manage inaccessible systems, constant requirement to mask, and unpredictability in social and sensory environments. The result of this relentless stress over time is trauma that can lead to exhaustion, shutdowns, or health crises.
