The Rise of Burnout: Understanding Mental Health in the Modern World
In recent years, especially exacerbated by the pandemic, the phenomenon of extreme fatigue, commonly referred to as burnout, has become alarmingly prevalent. This exhaustion is not merely a personal complaint; it reflects a broader societal issue that intertwines with mental health, economic sustainability, and individual well-being.
Burnout has firmly entered our vocabulary, signifying a state of complete physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Initially, many hoped that the pressures brought on by the pandemic would be temporary, but the lingering effects of burnout suggest it may have become the new normal for many individuals. Hence, it is essential to discuss mental health openly and honestly.
