Constant fatigue often leads to burnout. The syndrome of burnout has both psychological and physiological components which come about from continued stress at work. People who suffer from chronic fatigue have many stress related conditions. For many, job stress leads to job burnout and is the last of a long line of insults leading to constant fatigue.
Burnout leads to mental withdrawal from the job due to:
* job dissatisfaction
* work dissatisfaction
* strain of your job
The main symptoms are:
* lack of motivation
* a poor attitude
* too little energy
* declining attitude
Burnout in the workplace affects 25-35% of the workforce. Scientists have wondered what role the stress response system plays in the syndrome but the results have not been enlightening. The problem is that tests of the stress system cannot show any problem until the system has reached a level of dysfunction that is significant.
In other words, the dysfunction must reach a certain threshold of having broken down before conclusive decisions can be made. But our bodies function over a continuum from optimal to sub-optimal.
The feelings and sensations that the individual experiences are real, but tests most often cannot detect why. The failure of the tests to find anything, leads to a poor outcome in patient care.
A single cause of a disease is an unusual event, yet most believe that one cause is the primary feature of disease. Multiple causes of disease are the most common factors and that's what's so confounding to medicine in chronic fatigue.
Here are some of the other possible causes of chronic fatigue and burnout: depression, muscle weakness, lack of exercise, poor diet, post-viral syndrome, and cellular toxicity.
As in all fatigue syndromes, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, and all the milder, non-diagnosable fatigue complexes that millions suffer from, there are no known therapies within the framework of modern medicine.
As a result, more and more people are looking into alternative therapies. Millions of people are actually now spending more money out-of-pocket on alternatives than on conventional medical care.
People are finding solutions to their health problems from the use of alternative therapies. They rarely mention this fact to their physicians for fear of a "dressing down" since doctors are generally against any treatments that they don't control. Most doctors believe that nothing in the alternative treatments of health problems are of any value.
Medicine does not support the use of nutritional supplements even though it knows little about it. This fact doesn't matter and it ridicules the use of supplements as untested. The medical community still supports the low-fat diet even though it's well-known that it's useless and even dangerous. It puts down supplements as a waste of money. Medicine does not research these topics, yet is uninhibited in condemning alternative approaches to the programs it supports. - 14130
