Burnout and depression are two very similar illnesses. The cause is always an imbalance of the hormones dopamine (motivation) and serotonin (mood) and the stress hormone cortisol on the other. The danger: you cannot feel the imbalance of hormones yourself. Here again, the familiar picture: the symptom is treated, not the cause. Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are prescribed, which are supposed to make the little serotonin work for longer. But why prolong the residual effect when you can increase your own production naturally? It's as simple as baking a cake. You just need the right ingredients.
