  Burnout is characterized by a range of symptoms that typically fall into three categories: emotional, physical, and behavioral. According to professional therapists, some of the common signs include:

  1. Emotional Symptoms:

     • Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
     • A sense of detachment or cynicism towards work and colleagues
     • Lack of motivation and enthusiasm
     • Feelings of helplessness or hopelessness

  2. Physical Symptoms:

     • Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
     • Frequent headaches or muscle pain
     • Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia or oversleeping
     • Increased susceptibility to illness due to a weakened immune system

  3. Behavioral Symptoms:

     • Withdrawal from responsibilities and reduced productivity
     • Procrastination and increased use of substances like alcohol or drugs to cope
     • Changes in appetite, either overeating or not eating enough
     • Avoiding social interactions and experiencing frequent mood swings

  Therapists emphasize the importance of recognizing these signs early and seeking support to prevent further deterioration of mental and physical health.
