DEFINITION OF STRESS
Stress is a physical, mental, or emotional component that generates physical or mental tension in a medical or biological environment. Stresses can be internal or external (resulting from situations in the outside world, the mind, or society) (illness, or from a medical procedure). The "fight or flight" response, a complicated endocrinologic and neurologic response, can be brought on by stress.
Any shift that creates strain on the body, mind, or emotions is referred to be stress. Your body's reaction to anything that demands focus or action is stress.
GAS Model of Stress:
Hans Selye was a Hungarian endocrinologist. He invented the term “stress” during the 1930s
1.                  He conducted pioneering experiments on stress during the 1950s and ’60s
2.                  He discovered thE General Adaptation Syndrome by accident, while injecting mice for hormone research.
3.                  Turns out both good and bad stressors result in the GAS.
According to Selye GAS involves three stages –

1.                   Alarm Reaction Stage

2.                  Resistance

3.                  Exhaustion
