정신 사회적스트레스원 자체는 스트레스 질환을 일으키는 원인은 아니다. 정신 사회적 스트레스를 일으키는 원인 자체보다는 그에 대한 인간의 능동적인 인지 과정이 중요한 요인으로서 작용하게 된다. 실제로 인지된 스트레스가 개개인의 적응능력보다 그 강도가 너무 크거나 장기간 지속되는 경우 혹은 개체가 효율적인 대체 기전을 통해 스트레스 반응을 최소화할 수 없을 때에는 개체의 적응력을 고갈시키게 되므로 유전적으로나 환경적 영향으로 취약해져 있는 장기에 스트레스 질환이라 불리우는 여러 신체적 정신적 질환을 유발하게 되며 기존하는 질환이 있는 경우에는 그 심각도를 가중시키게 될 것이다.
