LHHP Mental Health Q&A #5 – Burnout

Burnout happens when stress lasts too long and makes you feel tired, sad, and unproductive. It's a problem that many people have, particularly those in jobs with a lot of stress like healthcare, police, and teaching. People who feel burned out often can't work very well and are always grumpy or upset. To avoid burnout, it's important to take care of yourself, ask for help when you need it, take breaks, and try to reduce stress. Burnout is bad for you and for everyone you work with, so it's important to notice it early and stop it from getting worse. To help everyone stay healthy and do their best work, it's important for people and companies to work together to prevent burnout.
