Compassion fatigue isn’t just “feeling tired”—it’s a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by chronic exposure to other people’s suffering. Whether you’re a caregiver, healthcare worker, therapist, or parent, giving your energy to others without replenishing your own can silently drain you.
At Patients Medical in New York City, we look beyond temporary solutions. Our integrative approach combines conventional, functional, and holistic medicine to uncover why you feel depleted—and to help restore your energy, mental clarity, and emotional resilience naturally.
Compassion fatigue is a form of secondary traumatic stress that results from caring deeply for others who are suffering. Over time, it can lead to burnout, depression, and even physical illness.
While often associated with caregivers and medical professionals, anyone with high empathy or long-term emotional stress can experience it.
If these symptoms resonate with you, it’s time to seek support and evaluation.
Using a functional medicine lens, we identify the underlying causes that deplete your emotional and physical resilience:
To uncover what’s driving your compassion fatigue, we use advanced diagnostic tools tailored to your physiology:
✅ Cortisol and adrenal stress profile
✅ Comprehensive hormone panels (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone)
✅ Micronutrient testing (magnesium, B12, D3, etc.)
✅ Mitochondrial function and energy metabolism tests
✅ Gut health analysis (microbiome, leaky gut panels)
✅ Inflammatory markers (CRP, cytokines)
✅ Neurotransmitter testing (serotonin, dopamine, GABA)
At Patients Medical, your healing plan is personalized and multidisciplinary, addressing mind, body, and spirit.
