Physician burnout is a growing issue, and it’s not always easy to spot.
Understanding the symptoms is the first step toward addressing it.
Here are the key signs of burnout:
Emotional exhaustion: Feeling drained, disconnected, or unable to recharge.
Cynicism and negativity: Experiencing increasing frustration or detachment from patients.
Decreased performance: Struggling with concentration, focus, and motivation at work.
Physical symptoms: Chronic fatigue, insomnia, headaches, or frequent illness.
Depersonalization: Viewing patients as tasks rather than individuals in need of care.
Burnout not only affects your well-being but can also impact patient care and the quality of your practice. Recognizing these signs is the first step in addressing burnout.
