"In 2022, I realized something was wrong. I had almost lost my company, my marriage was falling apart, and it felt like everything hit all at once. I did outpatient therapy while things were unraveling, but I was clearly getting worse. About six months later, that December, I checked myself into an inpatient program in Zurich, where I was diagnosed with acute depression brought on by stress. The symptoms fit burnout, too - burnout and depression often overlap."
"It all started when a friend of a friend, the CEO of a major, publicly listed corporation, called my parents, who worked in the mental health space, for help, and moved into their guest room for treatment. The person needed very discreet treatment for alcohol addiction - if it went public, the stock market impact could have been in the billions."
In 2022 Jan Gerber experienced severe professional and personal collapse, nearly losing his company and facing a failing marriage. Outpatient therapy failed to stop deterioration, so he entered an inpatient program in Zurich in December and received a diagnosis of acute depression induced by stress; symptoms overlapped with burnout. Gerber had previously spent 12 years helping people recover from burnout, depression, and addiction and founded Paracelsus Recovery, a private Zurich clinic serving executives, founders, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals seeking discreet care. The clinic offers intensive stays; a typical six-week program can cost around $800,000.
