Dahlia has been having chronic headaches and she is behind in all her classes. For the past six months, her job has been extremely stressful, but she doesn't feel that she can quit because she needs the money for tuition. Her vulnerability to illness, such as chronic hypertension, has increased. According to Hans Selye, Dahlia is in the:.

Dahlia is in the exhaustion stage of General Adaptation Syndrome

Explanation:

General Adaptation Syndrome is simply about how your body copes with stressful situations and adapts to survive them.

General adaptation syndrome was discovered accidentally by Selye whilst he was conducting experiments on rats at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

From his experiment on rats he was able to identify three distinct stages of general adaptation syndrome and according to him they are;

the initial ALARM REACTION STAGE which occurs shortly after the stressful event, followed by a RESISTANCE STAGE, during which body's Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) resists the impact of the stressful stimulus, and finally, if the stress continues, the EXHAUSTION STAGE, when the body fails to cope with the distressing stimulus

From the Question Dahlia is at the Exhaustion stage and this is the

final phase of general adaptation syndrome. At this stage her body has used up all resources following its attempt to repair itself during the alarm and resistance stage. Assuming the original threat has passed, her will continue its recovery.

However, her body no longer has the energy to cope with continued stress over a long period of time, and should it continue, she begins to show signs of exhaustion and gradually deteriorating as it persists. Hence her vulnerability to diseases such as chronic hypertension.

Exhaustion

Explanation:

Exhaustion means when a person is exhausted or feeling overtired due to some activities done by the person.

Exhaustion can occur when someone experiences a period of excessive stress in their work place or personal life leading to the drain of strength or fatigue

Although exhaustion can happen to anyone who experiences long-term stress,

and chronic tiredness .Some symptom of been exhausted include;

headache dizziness, aching muscles among others .

Therefore Dahlia is in the stage of EXHAUSTION
