There are two types of stress recognized: Acute stress which is caused by temporal passing eventualities that cause the alteration of emotions and chronic stress which entails a much longer time period according to the crisis that is met. Specialists diagnose the development of stress in people through three phases that are:
1. Alarm and escape phase in which the body tries to release all possible energy so as not to let stress accumulate
2. The adaptation of resistance phase where an accumulation of stress is maintained, adrenaline is on permanent alert, and the body tries to recover normalcy
3. Depletion phase at which stage the stress has already become chronic and there is a decrease in physical endurance, leading the person to be unable to work or develop in different areas of their life effectively.
