Emotional burnout and chronic fatigue

Causes and consequences of burnout

Burnout occurs as a result of chronic stress and leads to:

• physical and emotional exhaustion

• cynicism and social exclusion

• a sense of inefficiency and lack of achievement

• anxiety, apathy, hopelessness

• increased irritability, problems with sleep, concentration and energy

It is often accompanied by chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS):

• progressive fatigue, decreased performance

• muscle weakness and pain

• subfibrillation, sore throat

• poor tolerance of usual loads

• sleep disturbances, headaches, forgetfulness

• irritability, impaired attention and mental activity

Deeper consequences of emotional burnout

Burnout is often not just fatigue, but a loss of meaning in work, disappointment due to the gap between expectations and reality.

These symptoms can also be the first signs of cerebral vascular insufficiency, leading to encephalopathy or even early dementia.

Ketamine infusion - a modern approach to treatment

Ketamine as an effective "antidote"

Scientists are increasingly considering ketamine infusions as a treatment for burnout and chronic fatigue.

According to Dr. Gerald Grass, director of the Ketamine Institute:

"Many executives come to us with diagnoses of depression or anxiety, but in fact they have burnout caused by chronic stress."

What it looks like in practice:

• Patients are often unable to function normally

• They experience difficulties at work and in the family

• Risk losing their jobs or relationships

The effectiveness of ketamine therapy

• Often, improvement occurs after just one session

• Reduced anxiety and fatigue

• Improved concentration and mood

• Increase efficiency at home and at work

How does ketamine work?

Unlike traditional antidepressants:

• Antidepressants take weeks or months to work, only 38% of patients feel the effect

• Ketamine takes effect in a few hours, the effectiveness is over 75%

Mechanism of action:

• Ketamine "reboots" the nervous system

• Promotes the formation of new neural connections associated with emotional regulation

"Ketamine may be the most important breakthrough in the treatment of depression in decades"
- Dr. Thomas Insel, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health
