Occupational Burnout

Occupational burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion caused by prolonged and excessive stress at work. It often results from feeling overwhelmed, underappreciated, or lacking control over job demands. Burnout can lead to decreased motivation, feelings of cynicism or detachment from work, and reduced performance. It affects both mental and physical health, increasing susceptibility to illness and emotional distress. Addressing burnout involves managing workload, seeking support, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care to restore balance and well-being.
