Marie Åsberg


Marie Åsberg is a Swedish psychiatrist. She was based at the Karolinska Institute until retirement in 2004.
In a pioneering 1976 paper, Åsberg found a link between low seratonin and violent suicide.
Åsberg is an expert on burnout, and the need for self-care. She has developed the concept of an 'exhaustion funnel', to illustrate the way in which preoccupations can be narrowed by over-concentration on work.
