   Feb 3, 2024 · Summary. 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.

   How does stress affect the body?

   • It changes immune system responses and suppresses the digestive system, the reproductive system and growth processes. This complex natural alarm system also communicates with the brain regions that control mood, motivation and fear. The body's stress response system is usually self-limiting.

   What happens if stress is not resolved?

   • Prolonged stress that is not resolved leads to the third stage (exhaustion). Prolonged or chronic stress leads to the last stage of general adaptation syndrome—exhaustion. Enduring stressors without relief drains your physical, emotional, and mental resources to the point where your body is no longer able to cope with stress.

   What is a stress response?

   • The stress response is adaptive to prepare the body to handle the challenges presented by an internal or external environmental challenge, such as stressors. For example, the body's physiological responses to trauma and invasive surgery serve to attenuate further tissue damage.

   How does the autonomic nervous system respond to stress?

   • The autonomic nervous system has a direct role in physical response to stress and is divided into the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). When the body is stressed, the SNS contributes to what is known as the “fight or flight” response.
