Burnout is a career-related phenomenon that shows up as feelings of low energy, overwhelming stress, underlying anxiety, and the lack of control over one’s life.
Burnout has become so common that it’s recently been recognized by the World Health Organization as a diagnosable syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that hasn’t been successfully managed. Working professionals are carrying the intense stress of their jobs through all aspects of their life – they are unable to create boundaries or seek help to manage their stress, which has lead to higher than ever rates of burnout amongst professionals.
Signs of burnout aren’t always obvious, but if they are ignored, the symptoms will intensify until burnout becomes debilitating and effects your work, health, and relationships.
