Anxiety disorders and salivary cortisol levels in older adults: a population-based study
Conclusion
Older adults from the general population with long-lasting anxiety disorders had a lower cortisol awakening response than those without. This is consistent with the notion that chronic anxiety may result in downregulation of HPA-axis activity. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this mechanism.

Once again we see that chronic or "long term" stress/anxiety reduces cortisol production instead of increasing it. People become mentally acclimatized to whatever their situation is and the body reacts accordingly.

You asked me to produce a study contradicting your claim that rape causes elevated cortisol levels. I did.

Now its my turn. I challenge you to produce evidence that rape causes elevated cortisol levels.
