Burnout is considered a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by chronic and prolonged stress, specifically in the workplace. "It is a feeling of tiredness or fatigue, lack of energy, low performance, depersonalization and, therefore, a sense of failure and frustration. This has a negative effect on the physical and mental health of the person, causing, in many cases, a pernicious effect on health," explains Silvia Morales, a psychologist in the child, adolescent and adult area of the Hospiten Roca hospital.
