Explanation:

Resistance

General adaptation syndrome is a three-stage response that the body has to stress.

The three stages are:

alarm reaction

resistance

exhaustion

What happens within the body during each of these stages is explored below.

Alarm reaction stage

Glucocorticoids is triggered to adrenaline and cortisol, which is a stress hormone. The adrenaline gives a person a boost of energy. Their heart rate increases and their blood pressure rises. Meanwhile, blood sugar levels also go up.

The alarm reaction stage of the GAS prepares a person to respond to the stressor they are experiencing. This is often known as a "fight or flight" response.

Resistance

During the resistance stage, the body tries to counteract the physiological changes that happened during the alarm reaction stage.

The body tries to return to normal by reducing the amount of cortisol produced. The heart rate and blood pressure begin to return to normal.

If the stressful situation comes to an end, during the resistance stage, the body will then return to normal.

However, if the stressor remains, the body will stay in a state of alert, and stress hormones continue to be produced according to Hans Seiye.

This physical response can lead to a person struggling to concentrate and becoming irritable. This is the stage thd question is talking about.

Exhaustion stage

After a long period of stress, the body goes into the final stage known as the exhaustion stage. Once it reaches the exhaustion stage, a person's body is no longer able to fight stress. They may experience: tiredness, depression, anxietyfeeling

The person needs to find a way to manage it, if he does not find ways to manage stress levels at this stage, they are at risk of developing stress-related health conditions.
