Burnout syndrome is a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion caused by high levels of prolonged stress. It appears in people who feel overwhelmed by responsibilities and demands, which leads to feelings of emotional exhaustion. With the onset of burnout syndrome, a person loses energy, feels helpless and hopeless, and loses motivation in the work he loved. While continuous stress is one of the main causes of burnout syndrome, stress itself is a completely different state of mind. Stress is characterized by the feeling of being overwhelmed by demands and pressures, which can be characterized as the condition: “Too much”.
People under stress accept the situation as temporary and will be resolved when certain tasks are completed. On the other hand, the burnout syndrome is characterized as a state: “Not enough”, because it depletes energy, the person feels empty and without motivation. People suffering from burnout syndrome lack energy and motivation, but most importantly, they lack the belief that the situation will improve in the future. The genetic test “Burnout Sensor” provides information about the most important genetic factor for the development of burnout syndrome – COMT gene analysis, also through the test a person receives information about his behavior in stressful situations, emotional resistance to negative feelings, impulsive behavior and changes in lifestyle habits to reduce stress factors.
