This week on Thrive, we are talking with Dr. Amy O’Hana about burnout. According to a new report, more than half of American workers (59%) experience at least moderate levels of burnout. In mainstream medicine, burnout is now recognized as a legitimate medical disorder with its ICD-10 code.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
-
The definition of burnout
-
How burnout is different from depression and anxiety, although it may look similar
-
Why burnout is detrimental
-
Practical solutions for managing burnout for yourself or loved ones
