What do you call it when the human body no longer resonds to stress b/c it's become chronic?

Hello,

The cycle you are referring to is called General Adaptive Stress and it has 3 phases.

--The first phase is Alarm and this is when the stress first appears. "Oh My Word--This is a Problem!!!"

--The next phase is called Resistance. Here you have adapted to the stress and it seems like you are doing OK. You are not in a full blown alarm state. However, underneath the surface, you body is still producing stress hormones and they are producing wear and tear on all your systems. "I'm at my Max--What More Can Happen?!!"

--The final phase is Exhaustion. Now you are completely depleted. You may go back into Alarm mode, but you have no energy to back it up. This is the time when illness or disease can set in. "Whatever--Just another Terrible Thing in a long line of terrible things--I don't care anymore...."

I have a page that goes into more detail at: http://www.stress-free-mama.com/chronic-...

Hope this helps!
