Burnout

Burnout refers to the state of physical and mental fatigue and exhaustion of individuals under the stress of work. Originally proposed by Freudenberger in 1974, he believes that burnout is the most likely symptom of emotional exhaustion in helping industries. Later, Maslach et al. Referred to the psychological syndrome caused by responding to long-term emotional and interpersonal stressors at work as job burnout. It is generally believed that burnout is an extreme response when an individual is unable to cope with work stress smoothly, and it is a state of exhaustion of emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that accompanies the prolonged stress experience.
