A lot of burnout is actually ME/CFS and now possibly Long Covid. ADHD people are more likely to burn out due to shared genetic causes like hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). hEDS is vastly more common than doctors think it is by 100x - so it’s very difficult to get diagnosed. The more common subvariants of hEDS are not even all that hypermobile. This isn’t to say you have hEDS just given ADHS+burnout+reading HN you’re in a riskier category. As for treatments patient forums are far better than doctors with this.
It’s important to find the root cause because most people assume they can return to homeostasis simply by doing things to make them healthier, rest, exercise, diet etc. When there is a genetic cause that isn’t an option and more extreme pharmacological interventions are needed.
