All the way to

Hi.

Consider

Suppression gets held in the body and creates a host of downstream effects, including https://www.mindful.org/mindfulness-meditation-anxiety/, depression, stress-related illness, all the way to substance abuse and suicide.

What'd be the difference between all the way to and to ?

Thanks in advance

soheil1 What'd be the difference between all the way to and to ? Adding 'all the way to' signals that the list of effects, which are getting worse and worse, is about to end in the worst possible effect, namely, suicide. In the journey from weaker effects to strong effects, the sentence goes all the way to the strongest effect.
