Comprehensive Medical Consult on Burnout

Burnout  is a gradual process with ongoing physical and emotional exhaustion, which is related to the work and prolonged stress. People with burnout experience a significant loss of performance, feel powerless and also can’t recover on longer breaks such as vacation.

Increasing growth of labor productivity, efficiency and continuous availability, high mobility, high density of communication because of the Internet media contribute to an accumulation of the burnout syndrome in recent years.

Mostly, the burnout syndrome develops slowly, starting with physical symptoms such as muscle tension, back pain or headaches. In the course of the burnout, psychological symptoms such as insomnia, impaired concentration, increased anxiety or irritability will be noticed. The transition into a depression with fatigue, lethargy, hopelessness, feeling guilty is fluid.
Because of the slow development, people on the road to burnout often do not notice in time that they need breaks for drawing strength. They usually hope that the exhaustion subsides on its own despite continued ongoing burden, and bear their condition which mostly becomes worse.

Like any long-term condition, burnout requires a careful, individually tailored approach. Our doctors are highly experienced with the treatment of people suffering from burnout.
