What Is Stress – 3 stages Stage 1 – Alarm §
When the threat or stressor is identified or realized, the body's stress response is a state of alarm.
§
During this stage adrenaline will be produced in order to bring about the fight-or-flight response.
§
There is also some activation of the HPA axis, producing cortisol.
Stage 2 – Resistance §
If the stressor persists, it becomes necessary to attempt some means of coping with the stress.
§
Although the body begins to try to adapt to the strains or demands of the environment, the body cannot keep this up indefinitely, so its resources are gradually depleted.
