Understanding Burnout as a Physiological Response to Chronic Stress
Burnout is not just feeling tired or exhausted; it is a true physiological response to chronic stress. The World Health Organization acknowledges it as an occupational phenomenon related to ongoing unresolved stress. Chronic stress can have real biological consequences, impacting our bodies on multiple levels. Burnout is not something that can be solved by simply taking a pill. The traditional medical approach often focuses on temporary solutions, such as medications to mask symptoms, but it is crucial to address the root causes of burnout.
