Burnout treatment in Jaipur, to get your energy back.
Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion that builds up after long periods of stress, usually at work, and it is very possible to recover from it. Dr. Ashish Yadav, a neuro-psychiatrist (DNB Psychiatry) and yoga teacher, helps people recover from burnout with a medical assessment, CBT, sleep and energy recovery, and a practical plan for work, with medicines only when depression or anxiety needs treating, at clinics in Jhotwara and Vaishali Nagar and online across India.

How burnout treatment works.
- A detailed assessment. Your first consultation covers your work, stresses, sleep, energy and mood, and checks for conditions that look like burnout or come with it, such as depression, anxiety, thyroid problems, anaemia or vitamin deficiencies.
- A clear picture and plan. You leave knowing whether this is burnout, depression or both, what is draining you most, and a written plan for the first few weeks of recovery.
- Rest and energy recovery. Recovery starts by protecting sleep, building in real breaks, and slowly rebuilding energy with movement and daylight, rather than pushing through.
- CBT and boundaries. Structured sessions help you change patterns such as perfectionism and over-responsibility, set limits, and plan conversations about workload. Sessions are available in person and online.
- Breathwork and yogic practices. Slow breathing, pranayama and yoga nidra help the body switch out of constant alert and into rest, alongside treatment.
- Medicines, only when needed. Burnout itself is not treated with medicines. If depression, an anxiety disorder or a serious sleep problem is found, treatment options are discussed and decided together with you.

Ask on WhatsApp →What is burnout?
Burnout is a state of exhaustion, detachment and reduced effectiveness caused by long-term stress that has not been managed, most often at work. The World Health Organization describes it as an occupational phenomenon rather than a medical illness. It is real, it is common, and with the right changes people recover from it.
What are the three signs of burnout?
Burnout has three main signs: exhaustion, feeling distant or cynical about your work, and feeling less effective at it. Many people also notice poor sleep, irritability, headaches, frequent illness and difficulty concentrating.
Is it burnout or depression?
Burnout is mostly tied to work or a specific role, and often eases when you are away from it. Depression affects every part of life, including things you used to enjoy, and usually does not lift with a break. The two often overlap, and burnout can turn into depression if it is not addressed, which is why a proper assessment helps. See depression treatment.
What is the difference between stress and burnout?
Stress usually feels like too much: too much pressure, urgency and tension. Burnout feels like too little: too little energy, motivation and hope that things will change. Long-term stress that is not managed is the most common path into burnout. See stress management.
How long does it take to recover from burnout?
Mild burnout often improves within a few weeks of real changes to rest, sleep and workload. Moderate to severe burnout usually takes several months to recover from fully. Recovery is faster when the causes are addressed, not just the symptoms.
Do I need to quit my job to recover from burnout?
Usually not. Many people recover while staying in their job by changing workload, boundaries, sleep and how they recover after work. Sometimes a short break from work helps, and occasionally a bigger change is the right choice, but this is decided carefully, not in the middle of exhaustion.
Does burnout need medicines?
Burnout on its own is not treated with medicines. Treatment focuses on recovery, CBT, sleep and changes at work. If depression, an anxiety disorder or a sleep problem has developed alongside burnout, medicines may help, and this is always decided together with you.
Can burnout cause physical symptoms?
Yes. Burnout commonly causes tiredness, headaches, muscle aches, stomach and gut problems, frequent colds and poor sleep. Physical causes such as thyroid problems, anaemia and vitamin deficiencies are checked, because they can cause similar tiredness.
What can I do today to start recovering from burnout?
Start small: keep the same wake time every day, take one real break away from screens during work, walk for 10 minutes after lunch, and end the day with a short body scan or yoga nidra. Pick one, keep it for two weeks, then add the next. The daily stress toolkit explains each one.
Start with these, at your own pace.
