Ok, that makes sense. But even if it does not rule it out there definitely is something going on here, which is why there will have to be some more study. The surprising thing to me is that they could find any evidence at all, instead of no differences between people with and without the burn-out symptoms.

After all for a variety of psychological disorders there is no objective difference between a 'healthy' and a 'diseased' brain that we can nail down, to find one in this instance is an indication that there might be some clear underlying cause.

As long as that cause has not been found it's somewhat speculative but my guess is that if they can nail it down so clearly that a cause will one day be found.
