Burnout
Burnout, Chronic Stress, Brain Fog & Loss of Drive at Work
What burnout feels like
Burnout often shows up as exhaustion that sleep does not fix, difficulty concentrating, emotional numbness or cynicism about work, irritability, and dreading the working day. It is not a weakness. The World Health Organization describes burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.
Burnout or depression?
Burnout and depression share many symptoms, and burnout that continues may lead to depression. Your doctor will assess which applies to you, because the right treatment differs.
Brain fog and difficulty thinking clearly
Many people with burnout, depression or anxiety notice mental fog: slower thinking, poor concentration, forgetfulness and harder decisions. These changes are common and may ease as stress and mood improve. They can also have other medical causes, such as poor sleep or thyroid problems, which is why a medical review comes first.
How our Performance Reset programme works
Performance Reset is AYZA Health’s integrated, medically supervised programme in Sandton, Johannesburg for burnout, chronic stress and performance difficulties. It combines a medical assessment, a personalised plan decided at consultation, counselling-guided support and self-work between sessions, with a focus on resilience and workplace functioning. Treatment may include ketamine infusions where your doctor considers them appropriate. Ketamine is a scheduled medicine, given only on prescription and under medical supervision. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed
Who may benefit
Performance Reset is for adults in demanding roles, such as executives, professionals, founders and managers, whose exhaustion, low mood or loss of drive has not improved with rest or time away. It is not for everyone; suitability is decided at your consultation.
