Organic causes for the overwork syndrome, also called burn-out, are rare. Burn-out is usually considered to be the result of chronic stress and overwork due to professional or personal pressures. However, in some cases, burn-out can be exacerbated by underlying health problems such as sleep disorders, depression or anxiety disorders. It is important to have a thorough medical examination to rule out organic causes and receive appropriate treatment if necessary.
