Marie Åsberg

Marie Åsberg (born 1938) 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 serotonin and violent suicide.

Åsberg is an expert on exhaustion disorder and 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.

She was the 2022 recipient of the ECNP Neuropsychopharmacology (ENA) Award, which recognises exceptional research achievements in applied and translational neuroscience. Provided by Wikipedia
