You see how important it is to identify stressors that are impacting you. BioHealth goes on to say, "Constant hyper-stimulation of the adrenal glands ultimately results in adrenal exhaustion. This is the result of being in a prolonged state of stress."

You may have lived with something that hasn't allowed you to be your best for a long period of time. In order to be the most effective leader you can be, you owe it to yourself to be in the best physical and mental health possible. Before you too simply self-diagnose burnout you need all the relevant information to make good decisions.

The point - get checked out by medical professionals to rule out or confirm other contributing factors.
