What is Burnout?

Burnout is a pervasive and complex issue within our population. In recent years, essential workers have been particularly hard hit. Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, irritability, lack of motivation, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment. It arises from the strain of overwhelming workloads, administrative burdens, and a lack of autonomy. In its most severe forms, burnout can lead people to career abandonment, social isolation, and even a sense of hopelessness and depression.

This not only affects their well-being but can also compromise the quality of their work. Addressing burnout those struggling requires comprehensive strategies that focus on reducing systemic pressures, promoting work-life balance, and providing support to help the professionals navigate the demands of their paticular profession while maintaining their own well-being.
