"You’ve probably heard the word 'burnout' tossed around in conversations or scrolling through social media.
But have you ever stopped to ask: what does it really mean?
And more importantly—how do I know if it’s happening to me?"Â
Burnout isn't just being tired.
It’s a state of chronic emotional and physical exhaustion, often caused by long-term stress and over-giving. It can make you feel detached, ineffective, or like you're running on empty—no matter how much sleep you get. If you are burned out, you probably don't know it. What you do know is that you can't function properly...at work or at home. Â
How serious is it...really?
- The World Health Organization now recognizes burnout as an occupational phenomenon—not a personal weakness. It specifically affects those in caregiving and service professions like education and nursing. You’re not broken—you’re human."
- Burnout is included in the WHO’s ICD-11 as a work-related syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.” (World Health Organization, 2019)
- “EDUCATORS and NURSES have among the highest reported levels of emotional exhaustion across professions.” (Maslach & Leiter, 2016)
- In 2021, 4,467 practising nurses revealed that 94% experienced symptoms of burnout, with 45% reporting severe burnout - an increase of 29% prior to the pandemic
- A 2024 survey found that nearly half of licensed physicians in Canada reported having symptoms of burnout.Â
- According to Gallup’s latest teacher burnout statistics, K-12 education employees and college or university employees report higher burnout rates than full-time workers in any other industry.
- 55% of the teachers said that they are ready to leave the profession due to excessive burnout
- Up to 30% of new teachers quit their jobs within 5 years of teaching
- More than half of the surveyed nurses considered leaving their positions within the next year, with 20% contemplating exiting the profession entirely
So, is it serious?  YES
Should you be paying attention to it?  ABSOLUTELY
Why? Because Burnout doesn’t just go away.
Left unchecked, it deepens.
