Stockholm: Middle-aged women cope with burnout, which is caused by a prolonged exposure to stress, in different ways, says a Swedish study.
Burnout involves emotional, physical and mental exhaustion, manifesting as poor sleep, depression, anxiety, even cardiovascular and immune disorders among other symptoms.
Contrary to a previous study showing burnout to be stable over time, researchers from the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, were able demonstrate that women respond to and cope with burnout in different ways, the Journal of Women's Health reports.
