GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME
A. ALARM RESPONSE : This is the “ Fight or Flight” response that prepares the body forimmediate action.
B. ADAPTATION PHASE : If the source persists, the body prepares for long-termprotection, secreting hormones to increase blood sugar levels. This phase is commonand not necessarily harmful, but must include periods of relaxation and rest tocounterbalance the stress response. Fatigue, concentration lapses, irritability andlethargy result as the stress turns negative.
C. EXHAUSTION : In chronic stress situations, sufferers enter the exhaustion phase:emotional, physical and mental resources suffer heavily, the body experiences ‘adrenal exhaustion’ leading to decreased stress tolerance, progressive mental andphysical exhaustion, illness and collapse.
