The body's defense against stress uses universal way of coping known as general adaptation syndrome. GAS consists of three stages:

Your body mobilizes its resources to cope with stress.The pituitary gland signals the adrenal glands to produce more adrenaline, nor-adrenaline, and cortisol.
Symptoms include: headaches, fever, fatigue, sore muscles, shortness of breathe, diarrhea, upset stomach, loss of appetite, and lack of energy.

Bodily adjustments to stress stabilize. As the body's defenses come into balance, symptoms of the alarm reaction disappear. Everything seems to be normal outside looking in. The body is better able to cope with the original stressor, but its resistance to other stresses is lowered.

Example: animals in extreme cold become more resistant to the cold but more susceptible to infection.

During this stage the first signs of psychosomatic disorders begin to appear.

1. (Just missing an accident as a newly experienced driver) Our bodies immediately release cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline to provide instant energy. Adrenaline immediately raises the blood pressure and heart rate.
2. (Every time your driving and come too close unexpectedly by another vehicle) You become very paranoid and while driving are easily triggered leading to flashbacks of the accident that almost happened. You are not learning from what could've happened or turning it into a positive experience to be more attentive and to know you do not have control of the road.
3.(You fall into depression and paranoia about driving) You now have severe anxiety with no help from others around you and give up driving because you are too anxious and traumatized.
