The syndrome is not a type of depression, although common symptoms exist
My husband said he has burnout. How can I help you?
Burnout is an illness linked to work-related problems. It happens when chronic stress at work is not successfully managed and ends up damaging the person’s life.
The main symptoms of burnout are:
– Persistent tiredness, even after the person takes a break or goes on vacation.
– Lack of identification with work.
– Feelings of negativity and lack of motivation related to work.
– Decrease in professional performance (the person feels bad about the tasks they carry out and therefore their performance decreases).
– Over time, the person may also have physical symptoms, such as muscle pain.
Excessive pressure to complete tasks in a short time, lack of communication and support from management or superiors, unfair treatment and excessive workload can cause this occupational disease.
It is important to remember that burnout is not depression, although both conditions can be associated.
What can you do?
It is very important to encourage your husband to talk about what is happening at work. Seeking a mental health professional to help you deal with these issues is also essential. And often a period of distance is necessary.
It is essential that you do not let the situation get worse and that you act as quickly as possible to improve your health. You can be an essential partner in this process.
