Exhaustion
Do you ever work too much?

Exhaustion and work stress can have significant negative effects on mental health. When someone is constantly working long hours and not taking adequate breaks, they may experience physical and emotional exhaustion, which can lead to burnout. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress.

Experiencing burnout can lead to a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. Burnout can also cause a decrease in job satisfaction, a loss of motivation, and feelings of cynicism or detachment from work.

Work stress can also contribute to the development of other mental health issues, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or panic disorder. These conditions may develop after experiencing a traumatic event or prolonged exposure to stressful situations.

In addition to mental health issues, chronic stress and exhaustion can also cause physical health problems such as headaches, digestive issues, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

It's important to recognize the signs of exhaustion and stress and take steps to prevent burnout, such as taking breaks, practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and seeking support from friends, family, or a mental health professional.
