What is burnout — and why does it matter?
The WHO recognizes burnout through three clinical dimensions. Your combination tells you where to focus your recovery.
Emotional Exhaustion
Feeling completely drained — depleted of the emotional resources to face daily demands. Nothing left to give.
Depersonalization
Becoming cynical and detached from people and responsibilities you once cared about. Just going through the motions.
Reduced Efficacy
Feeling like nothing you do matters or makes a difference. Doubting your contributions and competence.
