I'm annoyed by these studies that make reference to social stress avoidance as a behavioral problem rather than a cortisol lowering adaptation.

I've read studies indicating 1/3 of people don't adapt to stress with lowering cortisol release in response to repeat stressor exposure.

Not much is made of estrogen levels in men and women and how it amplifies cortisol release in response to stress.

I failed to find any reasearch on a possible connection between a night person like me feeling more depressed in the morning when cortisol levels are highest.

Instead, these reasearchers with psyc mindsets see only behavioral problems, not behaviorial adaptations to physical problems.
