STATE OF PROFESSIONAL EXHAUSTION – « BURN-OUT »

 

The Geneva Stress Clinic treats states of exhaustion or “burnout” linked to stress and caused by a difficult professional environment as well as significant overwork.

A medical team will accompany you to help you find your core values and enable you to find personal fulfillment outside of your professional sphere.

Who is affected by professional exhaustion?

 

As a societal phenomenon, professional exhaustion, or burnout, can affect any individuals likely to experience a situation of high workload.

This condition is the result of an oppressive work culture, frenetic pace of life, productivity at all costs, and competition.

The difficult economic environment often leads to heavy workload demands on people.

 

Diagnosing exhaustion

 

A comprehensive assessment needs to be carried out in order to identify the malaise of the person. More generally, burnout is a cognitive disorder – a limitation of the working of the minds – which usually results in different conditions:

• Decreased ability to think,
• Decreased ability to reflect,
• Decreased memory,
• Decreased ability to concentrate,
• Irritability
• Loss of interest
• Anxiety
• Decrease in sleep quality

Quick consultationS are important, because the bridge to depression risks being crossed when self-esteem and self-confidence become affected.
