Stress & Burnout

Burnout is real — and with the right support, recovery is possible.

What is Stress & Burnout?

Chronic stress and burnout are increasingly common and can have serious consequences for mental and physical health. Burnout — a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress — often develops gradually and can be difficult to recognize until it becomes severe. Professional support can help you recover and build sustainable resilience.

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent exhaustion that does not improve with rest
  • Feeling detached, cynical, or disconnected
  • Reduced sense of accomplishment or purpose
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Physical symptoms: headaches, stomach problems, frequent illness
  • Increased irritability or emotional reactivity
  • Withdrawal from responsibilities or relationships

Common Causes

  • Excessive workload or lack of control
  • Unclear expectations or role conflict
  • Lack of social support
  • Poor work-life balance
  • Perfectionism or high self-expectations
  • Ongoing personal or family stressors
