Understanding Executive Rehab

The life of a top executive may look easy on the outside with large paychecks, business meetings around the globe, and dinners with other elite executives, but anyone who has experienced the lifestyle knows it is anything but undemanding. Top executives experience busy schedules with long hours at the office and relationships with friends and family can go by the wayside. Physical and mental health can also be damaged due to burnout from being overworked.

Paranoia, burnout¹1.P. Koutsimani, A. Montgomery and K. Georganta, The Relationship Between Burnout, Depression, and Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis – PMC, PubMed Central (PMC).; Retrieved September 25, 2022, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6424886/, depression, anxiety and loneliness are the most familiar sensations and feelings for most top executives including those on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley.

It’s very common for executives to self-medicate to change the way they feel, or simply to shut off from the day. The goto substance for self-medication is of course alcohol, yet closely followed by prescription pharmaceuticals, recreational and illicit drugs. Self-medication can also take the form of process disorders which manifest as behavioral mental health issues such as spending, eating disorders and sex addiction.

Executive Mental Health Treatment

Although anyone can suffer from mental health problems, gender norms affect how we respond to emotional difficulties. Girls talk about their weaknesses, while boys learn not to talk about their feelings for fear of being seen as insecure and inadequate. Thousands of young men suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses, symptoms that can be aggravated and provoked by silence.

Suicide is the leading cause of death among men under 45 in the UK and the suicide rate among men of all ages is disproportionately high. For example, the data collected show that almost 40% of countries have 15 suicides per 100,000 men, while only one in five have the same rate as women. The male ideal, in which mental health is embedded, plays a role in this mental health crisis.

Many CEOs (both men and women) struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, depression. The ideal image of the executive leader often consists of an image that projects a world of certainty and authority. This notion implies that the vulnerability, insecurity, and fear that make us human makes us weak.

As a result, the stress levels of executives rises steadily, while self-esteem lowers, acting as fuel for the inner critic²2.J. Jones, Browse journals by subject, Browse journals by subject.; Retrieved September 25, 2022, from https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14779757.2013.767747?scroll=top&needAccess=true&journalCode=rpcp20. Moreover, the pressure to hold everything together increases the likelihood of developing unhealthy coping mechanisms. And as a result, it prevents so many executives from talking about their difficulties with a professional.

Executive rehab creates a therapeutic bridge between sufferer and treatment. Privacy is key to any executive rehab clinic as it is still the case that a top executive in rehab or on a mental health retreat may unsettle a Board and certain shareholders.

Luxury Executive Rehab

Executive rehab caters to the personal and professional needs of CEOs and celebrities seeking help.

Executive Burnout Clinic

Burnout is a psychological syndrome characterized by reduced personal performance, anxiety, depression and a sense of hopelessness. While burnout and depression appear to have similar symptoms, such as low self-esteem, lack of motivation, irritability, fatigue, anger, and insomnia, there is no evidence that it is the same or a different construct³3.P. Koutsimani, A. Montgomery and K. Georganta, The Relationship Between Burnout, Depression, and Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis – PMC, PubMed Central (PMC).; Retrieved September 25, 2022, from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6424886/.

Researchers disagree on the extent to which such overlaps are to be expected, and considering that burnouts are the result of chronic stress and that work environments can often trigger anxiety reactions, there are clear links between burn-out and anxiety. The link between burnout and depression has been examined in a number of studies, including the Journal of the American Psychological Association and the National Survey of Mental Health.
