Burnout can come insidiously – those affected feel burned out and lose their energy. A change in the personality of the affected person usually occurs without the person noticing it himself.
If you notice that the exhaustion is too present, you should consult a doctor. Sometimes a few weeks in outpatient treatment would be enough, sometimes a longer inpatient stay would be necessary. In the first six weeks of sick leave, those affected receive their regular salary from their employer. If an illness lasts longer, the company pays sickness benefit.
