Understanding Burnout: A Triad of Exhaustion, Cynicism, and Ineffectiveness
Burnout is characterized by a triad of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion that accumulates over time due to the constant overwhelming demands. This exhaustion is followed by cynicism, where negative thoughts start undermining one's ability to make a difference or impact. Depersonalization may also occur, leading to a sense of distancing from others due to lack of energy. The final pillar of burnout is ineffectiveness, where individuals become less capable of performing effectively, making mistakes and experiencing a decline in functionality.
