Silent Productivity Killer: Hormonal Shifts Misdiagnosed as Burnout in Women

• Leading doctors warn of a "silent productivity killer" as hormonal transitions in professional women are misdiagnosed as workplace burnout.
• Untreated symptoms like "brain fog" and fatigue, often linked to perimenopause, cost the global economy an estimated $150 billion annually in lost productivity.
• Nearly 50% of women fail to connect cognitive "glitches" or chronic exhaustion to shifting estrogen levels, mistaking biological changes for stress or early dementia.
• Experts from India’s leading medical institutions advocate for a shift from "reactive tracking" to "proactive hormonal management" to support women's well-being.
• Chronic work stress, sleep disruption, and hormonal fluctuations significantly impact emotional health, often misread as personality traits rather than medical issues.
