Detailed explanation-1: -The stress reaction is defined by Hans Selye in his general adaptation syndrome model (Figure 1). Each of the stages in this model – alarm, resistance, and exhaustion – involves the body’s neuroendocrine system, which is influenced by psychological and physical stimuli.
Detailed explanation-2: -General adaptation syndrome (GAS) describes the process your body goes through when you are exposed to any kind of stress, positive or negative. It has three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. If you do not resolve the stress that has triggered GAS, it can lead to physical and mental health problems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your heart rate increases, your adrenal gland releases cortisol (a stress hormone), and you receive a boost of adrenaline, which increases energy. This fight-or-flight response occurs in the alarm reaction stage.
Detailed explanation-4: -Selye theorized that overexposing the body to stress would cause what he called “general adaptation syndrome, ” which could lead to shock, alarm and eventually exhaustion. Far from being limited to soldiers, the range of potential sufferers included all of humanity.
