burnout
scheduling problems, Work pressure or the fear of job loss make you tired, depressed and ill. The burnout syndrome has increased steadily in recent years, as revealed by scientific studies.
What is the cause of a burn-out syndrome?
The stress response comes with all the physical effects by a complex interplay between the central nervous system (brain), brain messenger substances (neurotransmitters) and the endocrine glands about. The transition from acute to chronic stress, chronic stress is fluid.
In-assessed perception of a threatening situation (stress response) will initially cause an activation of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic) with the release of the neurotransmitters adrenaline and noradrenaline. These increase the heart function, increase blood pressure, the tone of the skeletal muscles and release energy for the fight or flight response.
Does the load further, is the second stress axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis) is activated by the release of the stress hormone cortisol.
absence of the relaxation periods, which allow the body to return to the ground or resting state, there is a stress hormone imbalance - the man lives in permanent state of alert.
This process is a self-reinforcing process. Stress creates stress - and increasingly small stimuli sufficient to trigger a re-stress response.
basis of the stress response and physical health
Cortisol formation follows from person to person in a very characteristic daily profile. In the first two hours after getting up to show a clear morning peak. After the decay of the morning peak cortisol is continuously during the day to reach the evening or around midnight a minimum value.
found at high stress loads, non-physiological high cortisol levels with diffuse daily price charts.
out the long-term increase of cortisol level in the body to a variety of negative effects, such as a weakening the immune system with increased susceptibility to infections, loss of bone mass, loss of muscle and even a breakdown in brain cell with a defect in memory and learning performance.
Cortisol also leads to an increase in blood glucose levels. New scientific studies show that the stress associated with cortisol excess, the fat storage especially in the abdominal area solid supports, thereby representing a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
In a burn-out syndrome that is associated with increased fatigue, exhaustion and low capacity, it can lead to exhaustion of the cortisol excretion. The typical morning cortisol peak may be absent and the entire course of the day there is a cortisol deficiency. Often can be an atypical cortisol increase observed in the evening.
What symptoms occur with a burn-out syndrome?
The signs of chronic stress are numerous and vary with the individual concerned. Typical symptoms are:
* listlessness, irritability
* feelings of failure
* fear of not equal to the demands of being
* lack of interest in the career or job
* chronic fatigue
* sleep
* impaired concentration
* despair, hopelessness
* depression * chronic lack of motivation
* mood swings *
physical symptoms such as headaches and back pain, stomach and intestinal problems.
How to help the modern laboratory diagnostics?
are special in our laboratory, various blood-urine and saliva tests available to confirm the diagnosis and to show to potential deficits, and thus allowing effective treatments.
