GAS (General Adapation Syndrome) = ARE- A - Alarm, R - Resistance, E - Exhaustion!!

[KimberlyStain]

Hi i just wanted to give you guys a head up I think when you were explaining panic you sait it was severe but I know you meant panic but a couple of us had to double check bc you said it was panic, it was kind of contradicting to severe in the lesson. Thank you guys for all you do to help us nursing student.

[ajokeurediya]

A= Alarm stage
R= resistance stage
E= exhaustion stage

0:43 In addition to the *FLIGHT or FIGHT* response is the the *FREEZE* response (also known as the *NO GOOD CHOICES* response) … where the person suffers a complete shutdown … like *PLAY DEAD* … until the perceived threat has passed. Incurring the *FREEZE* response is very likely to lead to PTSD b/c the person never felt they had any other options and may continue to relive the experience over and over again beyond their control.

please continue the knowledge checks at the end of the videos!!!

Hey there! I just wanted to mention something that I noticed I got a bit confused about. When you were describing severe level and then moved onto panic level, you said "severe level" again as opposed to "panic level" when going into describing what that 4th level is. I wanted to know is it "mild>mod>severe>panic" or if it is "mild>mod>severe/panic". 4 or 3 levels or is that irrelevant?

thanks for the time, great video!

[michaelturner]

It is helpful. I wish you had gone more in-depth with the types of anxiety disorders. But still informative! ❤

[dannydel]

Can u ever recover at the severe level ??? I’ve been stressed and anxiety for a long time . Can it ever get to normal again ? Thanks

[medicalandnursinglectures]

Really helpful video. thanks for that .

[andreaswells]

Can you make a playlist of all the mental health videos

[nursewellbeingmissionUK]

Nice video, so clear and informative.

[jeannylynch]

It seems you are calling the last two levels of anxiety "severe", or are you only dicussing 3 levels of anxiety? (Mild, Moderate, Severe, Panic)

[aymanabdelmonem]

Thank you for the funeral traffic shut off

I nursed for 11 years and now I don't enjoy this profession anymore as it is one of the stressful jobs and it has been for decades.So many nurses are burned-out out and management and our health cate system do.nothing about it.There are lots of things needed to be changed like work culture, bullying, and so on.We are supposed to care for the patients, and how do we do that unless we healed ourselves first.our healt care system is a joke, it ia place where big pharmaceutical companies, hospitlad make profit from .I am not here to discourage anyone but to tell the truth whats behind the curtain. Good day good luck
