Burnout is a real phenomenon that can affect people emotionally, physically, and mentally. It is caused by chronic workplace stress, such as lack of support or recognition from leaders, unrealistic deadlines or expectations, and working long hours. To prevent burnout, it is important to identify the problem, take care of your body, learn to say no, be a role model, and put on your own oxygen mask. Gretchen Rubin, Natalie Azar, MD, and Kesi Irvin all offer advice on how to recover from burnout.
