About burnout
- anxiety and exhaustion
A study by the World Health Organization estimated that 264 million people globally were living with an anxiety disorder. We all react to stress in different ways. Some individuals may experience an enormous amount of stress and process it in a healthy manner. Others may not. Burnout is an anxiety disorder that locks people in a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. The condition is commonly encountered in a work environment, but it can be experienced by anyone in any stressful situation. It exists when a person is no longer able to function adequately.
Symptoms and effects of burnout
Most of us have days when we temporarily feel overloaded, but when the pressure of constant stress becomes intolerable, it can take a massive toll on our wellbeing. Burnout reduces a person’s productivity, saps their energy, and can leave them feeling hopeless, angry and resentful. Burnout can also lead to physical problems such as heart palpitations, chest pains, and recurrent sickness and may also lead to the increased use of alcohol or other substances.
The most common symptoms of burnout
- severe exhaustion and excessive workload
- cynical attitude and behaviour
- mood swings and the absence of positive emotions
- catastrophic thoughts
- lack of support or rewards
- lack of motivation
Burnout treatment
Stressful experiences that can contribute to burnout can include a heavy workload, financial or legal difficulties, family arguments, relationship problems, health issues or the loss of a loved one. However, with professional help and support from qualified clinical experts, it is possible to overcome burnout by learning to process stress in a healthy way. If you believe you may be suffering from burnout please contact us.
