Constant Fatigue: At Last, Understand the Causes of Being Tired, Fatigue, and Burnout

Burnout is accompanied by constant fatigue. Burnout is a psychological and body syndrome that arises from chronic work stress. Most constant fatigue sufferers have a multitude of stress related conditions and job burnout often represents the “straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Mental withdrawal in the job occurs during burnout because of:

* job dissatisfaction

* work strain

* dissatisfaction at work

Some of the main symptoms include:

* withdrawal from contact with people

* a poor attitude

* too little energy

* minimizing contact with people

Studies of burnout in the workplace indicate that about 25-35% of workers suffer from it. Research has looked at the function of the stress response system to understand its role but these results have been inconsistent. Tests of this nature are not good at detecting shades of gray and, as a result, cannot discriminate differing degrees of system function.

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.

So, objective tests in many of these cases cannot support the subjective experience of individuals. In a medical setting, this often leads to an inadequate medical response to the person’s health care needs.

It’s well understood, not by medicine, that most diseases have multiple causes. Chronic fatigue is a great example of a condition arising from multiple causes. Lower functioning in the immune system is another factor involved in burnout.

Some of the other causes of burnout and chronic fatigue are the lack of exercise, post-viral syndrome, depression, cellular toxicity, muscle weakness, and poor diet.

It’s important to understand that there are no effective therapies offered by modern medicine for all the millions of sufferers of chronic fatigue including fibromyalgia, multiple chemical sensitivity, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Interest in alternative therapies grows exponentially. Spending on alternative treatments is actually exceeding the expenditures in using conventional medicine. I work in this area and I can assure you that there are some very powerful modalities available to combat fatigue.

Many individuals report success with these therapies despite the criticisms of modern medicine. It makes claims of lack of studies even though much work and research has been completed. Medicine wants to maintain its stranglehold on all aspects of health care treatment.

Medicine is against the use of nutritional supplements and admonishes those who support their use. It formed opinions based on a belief system that supplements were of no value, not based on facts. In respect to diet, medicine still promotes low-fat eating despite the fact that it contributes to obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory diseases. Medicine doesn’t explore or do research on any of these topics and often makes unsubstantiated claims while accusing the other side of exactly the same action.
