Hans Selye 1936
Canadian physician coined the term stress
• The only person who controls your stress
level is you. Stressors may happen, but
your reaction to them will determine the
outcome in your body.
• “Its not stress that kills us, it is our reaction
to it.”

• Teacher notes follow.
General Adaptation Syndrome
Alarm Stage
This is the immediate reaction to a stressor.
In the initial phase of stress, humans exhibit a
"fight or flight“ response, which causes one to
be ready for physical activity. However, this
initial response can also decrease the
effectiveness of the immune system, making
persons more susceptible to illness
during this phase.
Resistance Stage
• Your body will repair any damage caused
by the stress in this stage, however if the
stressor does not go away, the body
cannot repair the damage and stays alert.

High blood pressure
Hives
Insomnia
Lack of appetite
headache
Stage of exhaustion
At this stage, the stress has continued for some
time. The body's resistance to the stress may
gradually be reduced, or may collapse quickly.
Generally, this means the immune system, and
the body's ability to resist disease, may be almost
totally eliminated. Patients who experience longterm stress may succumb to heart attacks or
severe infection due to their reduced immunity.
For example, a person with a stressful job may
experience long-term stress that might lead to
high blood pressure and an eventual heart
attack.
