Burnout is the result of prolonged and excessive stress, leading to a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. It is a common problem among professionals, particularly those who work in high-pressure environments. Increasingly, burnout is being felt by high school and college students as well. Burnout can impact anyone, from children and teens to older adults. It leaves a person feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unable to meet their many demands. The stress from burnout can lead to a lack of motivation, reduced productivity, hopelessness, resentment, and even increased alcohol and substance use. If ongoing, it can spiral into various physical and mental health problems. |
