Frequently asked questions

Is burnout the same as depression? +
They share symptoms (exhaustion, low mood, anhedonia) but are distinct. Burnout is occupational — caused by chronic workplace stress, with cynicism toward work as a hallmark. Depression is broader and persists outside the work context. A doctor can help distinguish them; if symptoms are severe or you have thoughts of self-harm, seek immediate help.
How long does burnout recovery take? +
Research suggests mild burnout can resolve in 4–8 weeks of structured recovery (sleep, reduced load, recovery practices). Moderate-to-severe burnout often takes 6+ months, and 1 in 4 require workplace changes. Tracking HRV and cortisol patterns lets you measure recovery instead of guessing.
What is the cortisol pattern in burnout? +
Early burnout: chronically elevated cortisol. Late-stage burnout: often a "flat" or blunted cortisol curve — the HPA axis becomes dysregulated and stops responding normally. Both patterns disrupt sleep and recovery. Continuous biometric tracking catches the shift.
Can Cortisol+ predict burnout? +
Cortisol+ surfaces the biomarker patterns associated with burnout risk (HRV decline, RHR drift, sleep stage disruption, blunted morning cortisol surge). It can't diagnose burnout, but it can flag the trajectory weeks before subjective symptoms peak.
