Cases of burnout have increased over the pandemic, with an estimated 210 million individuals across the globe being affected. Understanding of the effects of burnout can be seen on a case-by-case basis as it presents differently between various individuals. Burnout is a relatively new concept when understanding mental health, therefore most of the conversation surrounded the lived experience behind the phenomenon. 

 

Trishil spoke to two different therapists to gain a rich understanding of the matter and to build a wider perspective into the state that affects us all. Trishil first spoke to Kristal O'Neill from Kristal Rose Counselling about how burnout manifests itself and affects different individuals, especially those predisposed to stress and anxiety. Trishil then carried the conversation on with Mo Nathan from Renew Your Mind.
