Hans Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) includes three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.

Alarm stage: The body’s initial response to stress, activating the fight-or-flight mechanism.
Resistance stage: The body adapts to prolonged stress, attempting to maintain balance while remaining alert.
Exhaustion stage: Prolonged exposure to stress depletes the body’s resources, increasing vulnerability to illness and burnout.
