Frequenty Asked Questions

One of the most effective and widely used therapies for burnout is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Fitcy burnout expert therapists can take one-to-one sessions or as a group. Even companies buy weekly or monthly sessions for their employees to eliminate burnout and make them more productive.

According to the experience of Fitcy therapists, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for burnout shows effective results in under three months to a year. It also depends on many correlated factors or symptoms and varies from person to person.

Any mental condition will never go away on its own. To make it less affective, you must consult a specialized burnout therapist and get consistent therapy sessions for almost a year to dysfunction of burnout symptoms. It would help if you didn’t ignore your burnout condition; otherwise, it will be worse for you in the future.

You can take “Burnout” as a mental illness, which can happen by continued work stress. You can make it less triggered by doing a workout, diets and at some point, you need a consistent therapist session to make it less affective.

What is Burnout?

Burnout is the exhaustion that sets in after prolonged and chronic stress. Burnout takes an emotional, physical, and mental toll on the person, making them unable to continue with their normal routine.

Initially, burnout was coined for professionals who would serve people, so, healthcare burnout and nursing burnouts were the more commonly used terms. Now, however, burnout is associated with any profession, and even homemakers are susceptible to it.

What are the Characteristics of Burnout Syndrome?

Since burnout is not a medical condition per se, there is some ambiguity in burnout meaning and classification. However, there are some characteristics of burnout syndrome defined by the WHO (World Health Organization). These include:

  • Exhaustion and fatigue may lead to an inability to do anything.
  • Emotional disconnect from the job or the duty that has been the source of the burnout alongside increased cynicism about it.
  • Reduced productivity and efficiency.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Burnout?

Burnout symptoms affect physical as well as mental health.

Physical Signs of Burnout

  • Change in dietary habits
  • GI problems like acid reflux
  • Hypertension
  • Headaches
  • Muscle pain
  • Poor immunity
  • Sleep problems
  • Mental signs of burnout
  • Concentration issues
  • Depression, or blues
  • Cynicism
  • Irritable mood
  • Frustration
  • Low self-worth
  • Loneliness
  • Loss of interest and motivation
  • Negative thought
  • Self-doubt
  • Short temper
  • Suicidal thoughts

What Causes Burnout?

The major cause of burnout is work and the consequent fatigue. Work does not only mean a conventional job, but work could be chores at home, managing the house, or people or family life.

Work-related causes of burnout include:

  • A workload that is too hard to easily manage.
  • Work that is confusing, hard to understand, or varying all the time.
  • Unhealthy work environment
  • Unfair treatment at work
  • Lack of control over the tasks or the workflow
  • Lack of effective communication on the job.
  • Work that defies people’s belief system
  • Deadlines that are hard to manage or those that cause too much pressure.
  • Lack of support in the work, or ill-defined goals.
  • Continuous work, without any break

Many people think burnout is only when you are overworked. While that is certainly one factor, there are other variants as well. These may include:

  • A lifestyle that is too demanding.
  • Lack of support or healthy relationships.
  • Catching no breaks so living becomes a chore.
  • Insufficient sleep and rest.

Burnout is more common with certain personality traits. These include:

  • Perfectionist traits so one has to do unnecessary work to meet the high standards.
  • A controlling personality due to which people then manage everything themselves.
  • High achieving mindset.
  • A jaded and pessimistic mindset.

What is Employee or Work Burnout?

Employee burnout is exhaustion, reduced productivity, and cynicism that occurs due to stress at work. An unhealthy work environment that does not prioritize employee well-being, lacks proper support and structure, does not allow people to have a work-life balance, causes undue pressures on the employees, and promotes harmful work culture increases the risk of burnout.

What are the Signs of Employee Burnout?

The signs of employee burnout that management should watch out for include:

Greater Mistakes

As burnout individuals become apathetic about their work, therefore, they are likely to make more mistakes.

Low Morale

Another sign of work burnout is low motivation levels and morale.

Work Levels

If your employees are facing high or low work levels, they are more likely to burn out.

Poor Compensation

When your employees do not get a fair monetary reward, despite putting in a lot of effort, their risk for burnout increases.

Sick Leave

As people fall ill frequently when they are burnout, they take more sick leave.

How to Cure or Deal with Burnout?

Burnout is not a permanent condition; overcoming burnout is entirely possible. Interventions to help you recover from burnout include:

Work on Your Physical Health

For burnout recovery, focusing on your physical health is important. So, eat well, get sufficient sleep, and exercise regularly.

Work on Your Mental Health

To get help for mental burnout, you can seek the counsel of experts at Fitcy Health. Experts can counsel you from the comfort of your own home since the service is available remotely. This way, even if you are exhausted, you put in minimal effort to get the help that you desperately need.

Try Relaxation Techniques

Techniques like yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and breathing exercises help in improving your stress levels. These help in improving your mental health and lowering your anxiety.

How to Deal with Burnout at Work?

If you think you are experiencing burnout specifically due to your work, you should take steps to remedy the situation before it gets worse. Some helpful things to deal with work burnout include:

Talk to the Management

You should talk to your supervisor or the management about the problems that you are facing at work. Every company wants productive employees, so it is in their interest as well to work with you to improve the situation.

Get Help from Loved Ones

If you have good support from your loved ones, life becomes easier. So, when work is becoming too hard to handle, unload your problems to your loved ones. Not only does it feel good, but they can also offer solutions.

Relax Otherwise

To offset the stress from work, try to make the activities that you enjoy part of your life. Partaking in these activities will also help you in improving your stress levels.

Normalize Delegating Tasks

Try not to do everything by yourself just to prove that you are capable. Normalize delegating tasks.

Do Not Overcommit

Some people might overcommit to prove their mettle, but that might lead to burnout. Therefore, try to only do as much work as you are comfortable with.

Make Changes

Change your work routine when in earlier burnout stages. Aim for a better work-life balance, especially during this period.

How to Prevent Burnout?

Burnout can be prevented with just a few minor adjustments. These include:

  • Having good self-care strategies in place
  • Taking regular breaks
  • Being regular with exercise
  • Prioritizing your mental health
  • Building boundaries

How to Avoid Burnout?

To avoid burnout in the future, it is important that you work on improving your wellbeing. According to Gallup, 2 in 5 employees reported feeling burnout on account of work. So, it is crucial that you protect yourself by remembering the ABCs of burnout prevention:

Avoid

Take note of your burnout symptoms and avoid them so that your burnout is not triggered again.

Breaks

Breaks are important. Whether it be a vacation, staycation, or even a 10-minute lunch break, take them. Stepping out of the zone that is causing you burnout can help you reboot yourself.

Communication and Counseling

Communication and counseling are both particularly important. Communicate with your management when things go awry. Talk to your family and friends about your problem. Similarly, get counseling and therapy to help with mental and emotional burnout.

Fitcy Health is an excellent place to start because you can choose from a variety of experts. You also get different packages, which are convenient for your pocket. Also, you can message your counselor whenever you think you need help.
