Burnout is a state of being regarding work. A person experiencing burnout has prolonged stress at their job that has led to a state of mental or physical exhaustion. They may also experience symptoms outside of work, such as being short-tempered or anxious, having trouble sleeping, and being preoccupied with thoughts about work or job stress.
Available Treatment Options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a popular treatment for burnout. It focuses on helping people be more aware of their thoughts and how those thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. Therapist interventions also may include discovering the thought patterns that lead to anger or stress and finding coping mechanisms to relieve that stress. Mindfulness practices also may decrease stress and anxiety, while self-reflection can help people determine whether the job is right for them.

It always feels like something is going to go wrong and no matter what you do there's no way to control it. How do you find meaning in an unpredictable world? There are as many answers as there are individuals, and yet it can be difficult for a lot of us to say what it is that we really want. Maybe we're not sure of what it is that we want, or maybe we do know but are conflicted about it. I...
