What is burnout?

The definition of burnout is:

“a multifactorial process …

that is the result of long-term exposure (in a work situation) to a lack of balance between the investment (requirement) and what someone gets back (resource).

This causes depletion (emotionally, physically and psychologically), which can have an impact on the control of emotions (irritability, anger, crying, etc.) and cognitive abilities (attention, memory, concentration),…

and in turn can lead to a change in behavior and attitudes: mental distance (the person dissociates and becomes cynical), leading to a sense of professional disability “.
