Burnout can occur in the workplace, but symptoms may extend into a person\u2019s home life and prevent them from enjoying hobbies, social activities and events with friends. According to a 2022 survey by Deloitte, 77% of full-time professionals (out of 1,000 respondents) say <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/about-deloitte\/articles\/burnout-survey.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they have experienced burnout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout isn\u2019t easily treatable and the symptoms can last for several months after they appear \u2014 especially if the workplace conditions don\u2019t change. Learn more about the physical aspect of long-term burnout to see how your mental health can affect your physical well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What causes burnout?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/28-05-2019-burn-out-an-occupational-phenomenon-international-classification-of-diseases\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">burnout is an occupational hazard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means it forms when people are overworked and overstressed at their jobs. There are multiple causes of burnout and every case is unique. Here are a few examples of how burnout forms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee has more work on their task list than they can handle over long periods of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee works long hours for a prolonged period \u2014 arriving early and staying late.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee is \u201calways on,\u201d and responds to calls and emails at night, during weekends and while on vacation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee takes on multiple stressful projects at once where there are serious consequences if they fail.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employee has an emotionally taxing job, like a caregiver.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In each of these examples, employees are unable to step away from work mentally because there is so much that needs to be done or the work is so intense. Almost anyone (even entry-level interns) may notice <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/how-your-job-can-impact-your-mental-health\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">problems with their mental health because of their jobs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A poor workplace environment can be taxing on anyone and cause burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout vs. depression<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279286\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout and depression have similar symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (extreme exhaustion, feeling down and exhibiting poor performance); however, these two conditions are significantly different from each other. Symptoms of depression aren\u2019t limited to the workplace and will expand into other parts of a person\u2019s life. You might also experience feelings of hopelessness and low self-esteem that prevent you from enjoying your favorite hobbies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What burnout feels like<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not uncommon for symptoms of burnout to creep up on someone who experiences it. They dismiss their fatigue as a normal part of the job or justify a bad mood because of a personal issue or client problem. Eventually, these symptoms will increase in severity until they are too big to ignore. Here are a few warning signs that you (or someone you know) are developing burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You experience mental and physical fatigue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You feel tired at work and don\u2019t want to do anything when you get home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your sleep patterns change<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You might have a hard time falling asleep at night or you could wake up frequently. Even small amounts of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/how-sleep-deprivation-can-affect-your-mental-health\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleep deprivation can impact your mental health<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your diet changes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You might crave sugary, fatty and salty foods or you might lose your appetite. Stress can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/what-is-disordered-eating\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lead to disordered eating<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You have frequent mood swings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Your coworkers might think you are chronically in a bad mood or you could switch from joyous to angry within a few minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>You lose your motivation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You are no longer able to focus on your work or feel excited about new projects. This can extend into your personal life as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/what-a-burnout-diagnosis-can-and-cant-do\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of burnout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may look a lot like depression and chronic stress. In all three cases, the body\u2019s mental state negatively impacts the physical side. When you aren\u2019t sleeping, eating and exercising in healthy ways, your body\u2019s physical condition will suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout in the long term<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burnout is incredibly hard to treat because it often requires employees to make significant changes to their work environment. If someone has a peanut allergy, they don\u2019t have to eat peanut butter. However, someone who is mentally and physically affected by work doesn\u2019t always have the luxury of stepping away. They continue working and the burnout symptoms get worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/common-health-conditions-worsened-by-stress\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">physical symptoms that can develop because of chronic stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and untreated burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><\/i><b>Gastrointestinal issues<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Poor diet can cause gastrointestinal distress while increased stress can elevate your risk of ulcers and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/how-your-mental-health-affects-your-gi-tract\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other digestive problems<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>High blood pressure<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Stress may cause your blood pressure to rise and stay at dangerous levels. Burnout may also lead to other cardiovascular problems like the development of heart palpitations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Migraines and frequent headaches<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Burnout may lead to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/identifying-common-types-of-headaches\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">different types of headaches<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These range from tension headaches to migraines that cause you to miss work and social events.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Weakened immune system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: When your body is in a state of stress, its energy goes toward preservation and survival. This can leave you vulnerable to illnesses, colds, the flu and other side effects of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/signs-of-a-weakened-immune-system\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weakened immune system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Substance abuse<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You might be more inclined to destress with alcohol after work or could develop a dependence on substances that give you energy throughout the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all of these symptoms are correlated to burnout, they could also be warning signs of serious issues. If you experience some of these symptoms (like prolonged GI distress or frequent migraines) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/primary-care-doctors\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">talk to your primary care doctor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They can get to the root cause of the issue and develop a treatment plan for better health. If your symptoms are unmanageable and prevent you from navigating day-to-day life, visit your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/urgent-care\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local urgent care center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with burnout<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to treat burnout is to acknowledge it. You or your loved one can\u2019t treat the symptoms unless you recognize the source of the problem and take steps to acknowledge it. The next step is to reduce the causes of burnout which lead to negative symptoms. Here are a few ways that mental health professionals recommend <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.helpguide.org\/articles\/stress\/burnout-prevention-and-recovery.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">treating burnout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 it will likely take multiple courses of action to address the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set boundaries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Learn to step away from the office on weekends and in the evenings. Some employees may need to talk to their managers about reducing their workloads.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Identify triggers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Everyone has unique triggers that cause stress, from a terrible client to an annoying coworker.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Track emotions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Identify when you feel angry, annoyed, sad or upset. Acknowledge these feelings and the cause of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Build a support system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Consider meeting with a therapist online to discuss your burnout. Talk to a loved one or trusted coworker about your experiences.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Know that in some cases, you may need to step away from that work environment entirely \u2014 either temporarily or permanently. Not every office culture is open to employees working on their burnout.
