Burnout: Worauf Sie bei Ihren Patienten achten sollten

Although not being defined as a main diagnosis in the ICD-Catalogue the burnout syndrome together with the related depressive disorders is a frequent cause for physical and psychological disturbances. It is mostly caused by hyper-stress. Major symptoms are fatigue, sleeping disorders, reduced ability to concentrate, increased testiness and social withdrawal. Neck pain, back pain and unspecific pain might lead patients to osteopathic treatment. When identified at an early stage and treated psychotherapeutically and where necessary with additional antidepressive medication, progress can be stopped and recovery can be accelerated
