📚 Understanding Burnout
What is Burnout?
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It was officially recognized by the WHO in 2019 as an "occupational phenomenon."
The Three Dimensions:
- Emotional Exhaustion: Feeling depleted and overwhelmed
- Cynicism/Depersonalization: Feeling detached from work and people
- Reduced Efficacy: Feeling incompetent and unproductive
Common Causes:
Excessive workload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, poor relationships at work, lack of fairness, and value conflicts between you and your organization.
Recovery is Possible:
With proper support, boundaries, and lifestyle changes, people can recover from burnout. The key is recognizing it early and taking action.
