Deep dives

Understanding Burnout

Burnout is characterized by three main areas: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion goes beyond mere fatigue, manifesting as a profound depletion that typical recuperative methods like sleep cannot remedy. This sense of emotional fatigue can become so entrenched that daily activities feel overwhelming and devoid of energy. Recognizing these symptoms is crucial, as they signify a deeper state of distress that must be addressed before it leads to significant adverse effects on personal and professional life.
