Burnout: Recognize the Signs, Understand the Causes, and Find Remedies

• Burnout is a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion, leading to a loss of interest in activities.
• Symptoms include persistent fatigue even after sleep, anxiety about work, irritability, social isolation, and changes in eating/sleeping patterns.
• Common causes are working long hours without rest, poor work-life balance, excessive self-expectations, and inability to say 'no'.
• Remedies involve taking breaks, limiting office work to work hours, learning to decline tasks, and prioritizing sleep, meals, and social time.
• Engaging in hobbies, exercise, and seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor are also crucial for recovery.
