The GAS was viewed as a reaction to stress consisting of three distinct stages; a pattern of alarm, followed by a stage of resistance as a person attempts to compensate for changes induced by the alarm stage. A state of exhaustion follows if the person cannot successfully adapt during the stage of resistance or if stress remains unrelieved. When stress reaches chronic, harmful levels, deleterious consequences follow, from compromised immune function to weight gain to developmental impairment. Deleterious consequences and developmental consequences, then, are a product of unsuccessful GAS, not a part of the syndrome.
