According the
General Adaptation Syndrome
of Hans
Selye (1907-1982),
Alarm, Resistance
and
Exhaustion
are three stages of the stress response.
Almost
every system can be affected by stress. Symptoms are commonly caused from
the physiological affects of catecholamines: heart palpitations,
tachycardia, stomach upset, etc. (Copstead
& Banasik, 2010).
As stress
continues the person adapts. When the ability to adapt exceeds the demands
of the continued stress then the exhaustion ensues and the persons
functioning fails.
