Burnout typically develops gradually — persistent fatigue, irritability, and a growing sense of detachment from work are often the first signs, well before a full breakdown occurs.
Left unaddressed, burnout can affect sleep, relationships, and physical health, and often overlaps with anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Simple interventions — talking to a licensed counsellor, setting firmer work boundaries, or taking planned time off — can meaningfully reduce burnout risk when caught early.
