Burnout - Coggle Diagram
Burnout
How burnout affects normal biological processes
Mortality
Death most commonly due to stroke or
myocardial infarction.
Lipids
Emotional burnout was associated with
increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
Accelerated aging:
Burnout exhibited shorter leucocyte telomere lengths compared to those with no exhaustion
Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
People with higher levels of burnout had a greater risk of coronary heart disease.
Type II diabetes mellitus
An hypothesis says that:
Stress-induced corticosteroid and catecholamine release induces acute phase reactants (APRs) which stimulates insulin resistance and Type II diabetes.
Obesity
Increased body mass index (BMI) levels in a burnout versus a non-burnout group
Diet and exercise
Fast food consumption, infrequent exercise, alcohol consumption, were all found to have a positive association with levels of burnout
Allostatic load (AL)
Higher scores on burnout were associated with increased AL, though with depression explaining 60% of the association
Immune function and micro-inflammation
Higher burnout scores were associated with increased systemic inflammation
What is burnout and causes of it
State of extreme exhaustion that results of long time work periods that are excessive
It is also related to emotional drained, and overwhelming
This ain't the necessary product of work, can also be a consequence of school and social environment
This may lead to what is known as depersonalization
This is a syndrome that affect the way you see life, in which you can start looking at yourself like out of your body
Kind of if the person having this syndrome was watching his life like in a movie
Some of it causes can be:
The lack of knowledge in how to manage all this pressure
It can also be correlated with other states like depression
How autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responds to accute stress
ANS is the first to answer to this stress
This by liberating sympathetic-
adrenal-medullary
This results in a quicker heart beat and blood pressure
And also it releases adrenaline
The constant activation of the SAM and HPA can have as a consequence
The fact that our body cannot achieve again the homeostasis
It may also cause downregulation of the calming vagally-mediated parasympathetic system
There is an hypothesis that says that:
Sustained and enhanced sympathetic activity
It also grows sympathetic activity reactivity
And delays the sympathetic activity recovery
Reduces parasympathetic vagal
activity
People that suffer from burnout can also:
And have signs of immediate arousal
Have a reduced heart rate variability
HPA
It releases Corticotropin hormone
This stimulates adrenocorticotropic
hormone
Cortisol:
It has energetic effects in our body
Increases blood sugar
Suppression of the inmune system
In a study of cortisol they found out that:
30 mins after wakening, the CAR was lower in both the clinical and non-clinical burnout groups compared to healthy controls.
High burnout means high cortisol levels for 30 minutes
