The problems referred to as burnout, stressed - out, overtraining (overexercising) and nervous breakdown are almost always the
result of adrenal exhaustion.
I realize that the
topic of adrenal exhaustion and hormonal imbalance is extremely complicated and is a multi-year journey for those with seemingly intractable issues.
It's possible for a woman to have both the symptoms of excess cortisol, from years of chronic stress, and the symptoms
of adrenal exhaustion, which is the inability to maintain adequate production of adrenal steroids.
