Burnout is a common psychological condition characterized by emotional exhaustion, feelings of cynicism and detachment from work or personal relationships, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Burnout can occur in any profession or life situation, and it can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental health, physical health, and overall well-being.
