In the new episode of the program "Case," psychologist Maria Abeltene explores the topic of burnout. She explains how to differentiate burnout from ordinary fatigue, why vacation does not always help recovery, who is more prone to emotional exhaustion, and what early signs should not be ignored.

Burnout is a state characterized by constant fatigue, irritability over trivial matters, lack of energy even after days off, and a feeling that rest no longer helps. People often wonder if they are going through a difficult period or experiencing burnout. The psychologist emphasizes the importance of recognizing these signals and seeking help to prevent deeper emotional depletion.
