A medical reality that concerns us all
It’s crucial to understand that burnout is not exclusive to the medical or high-pressure professions.
It can affect anyone, in any profession. In our modern society, which values hyper-productivity and multi-tasking, everyone is susceptible to the rigors of burnout.
Whether you’re a teacher, an office worker, an entrepreneur, an artist or a stay-at-home parent, you’re not immune.
Burnout doesn’t discriminate according to gender, age, profession or socio-economic level.
It’s a silent threat lurking in the shadows of our daily stress.
A silent disease
The most worrying thing about burnout is that its limits of no return are often crossed without us even realizing it.
We live in a constant state of stress and fatigue, thinking it’s normal or that we’re just “a bit tired”. This is where the danger lies. Burnout can progress insidiously until it reaches a stage where recovery becomes a major challenge.
