Burnout

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, often resulting from overwhelming work demands or personal responsibilities. It can lead to feelings of detachment, reduced productivity and a sense of being emotionally drained. Yet burnout is not just limited to occupational arenas, as it can also be found in sports, school, caregiving and maintenance of personal relationships. When left unchecked, burnout can result in depression or the triggering of preexisting psychological conditions that may impact your ability to effectively cope with the stress at hand. Seeking support during these challenging moments can help alleviate stress and cement the roots of healthy coping.
