    In psychology, the General Adaptation System describes the response the body goes through after being exposed to an stressor.

    The stages are:

    Alarm: This happens when we first perceive something as stressful and we go on a fight-or-flight response. Resistance: When the stress continues, the body makes an effort to overcome the stress. However, the body cannot achieve this goal forever and then it goes to the last stage. Exhaustion: Once the person has been prolongedly exposed to the stressor, the body's resources deplete and the body functions start to deteriorate and falls ill.

    In this example, Philip worked 16 hours a day for a week to complete his work before going on vacation. We can see that this was a stressor for Philip. He ends up falling ill and spending his vacation recovering from the illness. We can see that Philip's body tried to cope with the stress generated by his work but eventually its resources depleted and Philip fell ill. Thus he is in the Stage of Exhaustion.
