You don’t have “burnout,” you have stress-induced neurological decline due to long-term brain damage. Giving it a cutesy name may help you discuss it amongst allies, but it will not demand the recognition you need from medical professionals, your peers, or those oppressing you.

@ryanhoulihan, “burnout” is a cute name?

@ryanhoulihan

And no mental health professional would have the faintest idea what it might mean, because it's "cutesy" and "marketable"
Yeah
Got it

@ryanhoulihan, interesting. The series started in 2001, and I don't seem to recall it.
But I don't know how this falls into your post because there is nothing about games. It seems as if it was about an actual burnout.

@ryanhoulihan
I'd guess that "burnout" has more power than a long pseudo-scientific name
