Key Concepts

General Adaptation Syndrome

This is a model that outlines the body's three-stage response to stress: the alarm phase, where the initial reaction occurs; the resistance phase, where the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stressor; and the exhaustion phase, where prolonged stress depletes the body's resources, potentially leading to health problems.

Resistance Phase

This stage of the stress response involves the body counteracting the effects of stress and striving for stability. While it is a critical adaptive process, spending excessive time in this phase can exhaust the body's mechanisms, making it more vulnerable to illness and physiological breakdown.

Chronic Stress Effects

Extended exposure to stress, especially when the body remains in the resistance phase for too long, can lead to chronic stress. This chronic state is linked to various stress-related diseases such as ulcers and heart conditions, as the body's sustained high-stress response can impair multiple bodily systems.
