Chronic stress increases the risk of developing depression.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that chronic stress increases the risk of developing depression?

Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: a review notes prolonged stress can damage mental health, an animal study finds chronic stress promotes depression-like symptoms, and one paper states economic stress increases depression risk in low-income mothers. None of the placed items settles the general claim that chronic stress increases depression risk in humans at full strength.
