Conditions We Treat

Stress & Burnout

Ongoing emotional and physical exhaustion that can develop when demands repeatedly exceed available time and support.

Overview of Stress & Burnout

Burnout is not a formal psychiatric diagnosis, but the exhaustion, detachment, and reduced sense of effectiveness can be serious. Chronic stress can also uncover or worsen anxiety, depression, insomnia, and substance use.

An evaluation can help identify what is driving the symptoms and whether another health condition needs attention.

Common symptoms

  • Emotional and physical exhaustion
  • Feeling detached, cynical, or numb
  • Reduced concentration and motivation
  • Sleep or appetite changes
  • Headaches or muscle tension
  • Loss of satisfaction in work or caregiving

How it can affect daily life

Burnout can reduce patience, performance, and connection with others. People may keep pushing until everyday tasks feel difficult or their health begins to suffer.

When to seek professional help

  • Rest and time away are no longer helping
  • Symptoms are affecting health, relationships, or job performance
  • You notice depression, panic, increased substance use, or thoughts of self harm
