According to the World Health Organization (WHO), burnout at work is a syndrome resulting from chronic work-related stress, with symptoms characterized by "feelings of exhaustion or depletion of energy; greater mental distance from work, or feelings of negativism or cynicism associated with one's job; and decreased professional efficacy." Although burnout can affect health and be a reason for people to contact health services, it is not classified as a medical condition or mental disorder by the WHO itself. The World Health Organization states that "Burnout refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life."
Treatment BeterKlinic
BeterKliniek is the clinic for Integrative Medicine that bridges regular and non-regular medicine.
An van Veen (physician) and Michael van Gils (therapist) look for the cause of a condition or disease. That is where the treatment starts otherwise, as people often say, it is 'carrying water to the sea'. We call this cause medicine. Sometimes it is also desirable to treat the symptoms (at the same time). We call this symptom medicine.
Chronic disorders often have their cause in epi- genetics. You can schedule a free informative telephone consultation (phone number 040-7117337 until 1 p.m.) at BeterKliniek to discuss your symptoms so that we can provide you with further advice.
