    Hans Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) has been widely held as a comprehensive model to explain the stress phenomenon. This three-stage model states that when an organism is confronted with a threat, the general physiological response occurs in three stages.
    An alarm reaction is the first stage and includes an “initial-shock phase” in which resistance is lowered, and a “counter-shock phase” in which defensive mechanisms become active. It is characterized by autonomous excitability; adrenaline discharge, increased heart rate, muscle tone and blood content; and gastrointestinal ulceration. Depending on the nature and intensity of the threat and the condition of the organism, the periods of resistance vary and the severity of symptoms may differ from ‘mild invigoration’ to ‘disease of adaptation’. Maximum adaptation occurs during the second stage, which is the stage of resistance. The bodily signs characteristic of the alarm reaction disappear. Resistance increases to levels above normal. In the last stage, however, the stage of exhaustion, adaptation energy is exhausted. Signs of the alarm reaction reappear and the resistance level begins to decline irreversibly thus leading to complete collapse of the organism.
