Job burnout is a type of stress linked to work. It includes being worn out physically or emotionally. It also may involve feeling useless, powerless and empty. Burnout can raise the risk of depression, but depression and burnout are different, and they need different treatments.
There are different causes of job burnout such as: lack of control, conflicts with others, lack of support, and problem with life-work balance.
Burnout often involves things in the workplace that no one can control. Yet there are ways to control how to cope with the stress:
1- seek support.
2- trying relaxing activity.
3- look at different options on how to solve work issues.
4- practice mindfulness.
As said by Jeanine Joy “Burnout is a war that must be won on two fronts.”
