For those on the front lines, a year of no work/life balance, no time for self-care, and a prolonged period of stress is causing a very real threat of burnout. Even in normal circumstances, those in the medical profession—clinical, research, education, or industry— often have demanding workdays in a high-pressure environment.
“Burnout” was actually classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an occupational phenomenon in 2019 and included in the
11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD-11). According to this classification, “burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed,” showing three specified criteria: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and reduced professional efficacy. If you have been experiencing burnout, you are not alone.
As you reflect on your personal well-being, know that there are several resources available to you. Explore the tabs on this page for just a few centered around coping mechanisms for burnout.
