A week in Pofadder - that isolation with nothing to do forces you to recharge your batteries and get back into the rat race.

Is there really nothing going on up there lol but its nice to be in isolation sometimes and just do nothing

depends how you define burnout out, if you're talking about the major emotional, psychological and physical burnout from a long period of constantly induced stress, then the road to recovery and and overcoming the impact can take years.

Seriously though, OMB is correct. It can take a looong time depending on what 'burnout' you have.

The person had continuous mental stress, psychological stress, and physical stress, over a period of several years.

a nice 2 week min leave far away from the rat race. see a head doc for at least a few times.
look at their life. what things cause the stress. some things can't be taken out. some things can be removed/changed. change those things.
take a little time out every now & then.

start a new hobby or sport.

change eating & sleeping habits if they're not good...

I would say go to berg and relax in a nice cottage in the country and do some fishing

The solution is not short term & involves lifestyle changes.

If needs be the head doc can supply destressing meds for the short term.
