Doc can you make a detailed video on Burnout

[izawaniek]

Spot on! When you are in a toxic environment it will burn you out! Thank you for a great video.

[DmqXY]

yes, for doing away with my (self-diagnosed) burnout, i took a sabbatical and started creating new habits, indoors and outdoors; that break took longer than initially planned, but last year i got back on track (new job, same field, more awareness)

@drtraceymarks can you please do a video on emotional exhaustion and clarify how this is similar or the same as burnout? Or can also feel like depression? And how to resolve? It sucks 😢

[HigoIndico]

Burnout can come from sense overload combined with all the other stressful things in adult life. Not all stress comes from work and changing work might not help at all if the problem is somewhere else.

[katyalambo]

It literally took me over a year to figure this out and realize that I was medicating myself for nothing.

Thank you for clarifying this! We're afraid of being labeled as weak or entitled if we try to defend ourselves in an emotionally sick environment. No one wants to work? We DO! But we have the right as citizens to be treated with respect. Gone are the days you just work hard and put up with abuse.

Burnout can and will make you sick and even die.

Unnecessary medication can be hazardous

If your job is toxic, don’t change yourself. Find another job. There are tons of remote jobs available.

I don't want to learn how to cope the work environment. I spent a lot of time molding myself to my jobs and on top of other life situations it cost me my mind.

[dasilvadouglas]

I also think burnout can trigger depression. Cause. Effect.

[srirachasteve]

i can’t imagine burnout without depression… that prolly says something about my mental state

[CeMurphBrady]

How do I get to the full talk on this?

[ajd]

Sadly, in my experience, most doctors don't want to address anything except how fast they can write out a prescription for antidepressants and other psych meds.

[FabiJenneke]

Just because you're depressed doesn't mean you need to be treated with anti-depression medication...

[famezof]

That’s wrong. For light forms of depression the person don’t need to be treated with medication as well.
