    This document discusses the stages of stress according to the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) model. It describes the three stages of GAS as the alarm stage, resistance stage, and exhaustion stage. The alarm stage has two phases where the body initially reacts to the stressor and then tries to fight it. The adaptation stage is when the body maintains a higher level of functioning to combat the threat. In the exhaustion stage, the body becomes depleted from trying to recover from the stress. It also provides examples of common stressors and tips for managing stress such as social support, self-improvement, and changing one's mindset.
