Am I suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome or burnout?
Johanna (the patient’s name has been changed) has been suffering for several months from a persistent lack of energy and increasing fatigue. Shortly after getting up, Johanna would already like to lie down again.

High sensitivity is a gift for perception, not a disease
Sensitive people can see, hear, smell, taste and feel intensely, and sometimes this intensity of perception can overwhelm them. Increased perception is both a blessing and a curse. It has positive and negative consequences, not only for feeling and thinking, but also on a physical level. That is why knowledge and careful handling of it are critical. In the Alpstein Clinic, we support you holistically and precisely, as well as in terms of prevention, so that this gift is not a weakness, but rather a strength.
