Understanding Burnout: The Mislabeled Phenomenon

Burnout, a prevalent issue affecting individuals' performance, is often misunderstood. It is not merely fatigue but a recognized medical disorder with distinct characteristics: exhaustion, cynicism, and low self-efficacy. Unlike the state of flow, where individuals are fully engaged and productive, burnout leads to feelings of futility and cognitive dysfunction, altering neural circuitry in the brain. Recognizing the root cause of burnout is crucial for preventing and reversing its effects, underscoring the importance of addressing exhaustion, criticism, and self-efficacy to combat burnout.
