The Hidden Health Risks of Burnout CANARY IN THE COAL MINE?
Does your job or housework leave you feeling burnt out? If so, you aren’t alone.
on the inventory include, “I feel emotionally drained by my work.”
Burnout is a common affliction in our technological age. An estimated 48% of employees and 53% of managers claim they’re burned out, according to a 2022 Microsoft survey of 20,000 workers. And stress levels have only worsened since then. Career-driven people, overworked employees, and working people from all walks of life can experience alienation, extreme exhaustion, loss of meaning, and reduced performance, all hallmarks of burnout. The term was coined in the 1970s to denote the exhaustion often experienced by people in the helping professions. Burnout is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, (the professionals’ guide to diagnostic standards). However, the World Health Organization recognizes it as a factor of people’s health. Some doctors use the Maslach Burnout Inventory, a scale measuring a person’s level of exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy, to diagnose burnout. Items
The symptoms of burnout can serve as the proverbial canary in the coal mine — an early warning that overload, overwork, or stress may be on the verge of harming your health. If your
ennui or languor deepens into low self-esteem, guilt, hopelessness, or thoughts of suicide, a vacation or long weekend isn’t likely to help. Clinical depression or anxiety requires different treatments by a therapist or mental health professional. An extended break from work might help to ease the strain but there’s much more involved. The bottom line: If you’re feeling burned out, it’s time to put on the brakes and tune in more closely to your overall well-being!
