What does burnout feel like? Burnout might be defined by the World Health Organization as an "occupational phenomenon", one resulting from chronic workplace stress that remains unmanaged, but those who've experienced it say it's much more complicated than this.
Burnout can be defined in more ways than one, with work-related burnout just one of the many causes out there recognized by psychologists and medical professionals alike. While it's arguably the most common, it's also possible to experience burnout from factors outside of work, such as family, friends, romantic relationships, and a combination of them all.
