WHAT IS BURNOUT?
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress—often related to work but also impacting other areas of life. If left unaddressed, burnout can lead to serious mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue. Understanding the causes and signs of burnout, as well as strategies for recovery, is essential for maintaining your overall well-being.
Burnout occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. Over time, it reduces your energy levels, productivity, and motivation, leaving you feeling helpless, detached, and cynical. Burnout is different from everyday stress—it's an ongoing condition that builds gradually over time and can severely impact your mental and physical health.
