    Hans Selye proposed the General Adaptation Syndrome, where the body goes through three stages when responding to stress: alarm, where it physiologically arouses to combat the challenge; resistance, where physiological changes stabilize as coping efforts are underway; and exhaustion, where if the stress cannot be overcome the body's resources may deplete leading to decreased physiological arousal and eventual collapse from exhaustion.

    HANS SELYES GENERAL ADAPTATION SYNDROME

    ALARM
    Physiological arousal occurs as the body musters its resources to combat the challenge

    RESISTANCE
    Physiological changes stablize as coping efforts get underway

    EXHAUSTION
    If the stress can't be overcome the body's resources may be depleted, and physiological
    arousal will decrease. Eventually, the organism may collapse from exhaustion
