Epi 53: You’ve Been Calling It Burnout or Stress… But This Might Be What You’re Missing (Part I)

from Stop the Burnout Podcast · host Dr. Amber Parks, DVM, DABVP

If you are constantly overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in perfectionism, you might assume it is just part of veterinary medicine and the high expectations that come with it. But what if there is more going on beneath the surface? In this episode, I share my personal experience of being diagnosed in my 40s with something I never thought applied to me, only to realize it had been there my entire life. This discovery completely changed the way I understand burnout, chronic stress, and the mental load in veterinary medicine. We break down how this shows up in high-achieving veterinary professionals, even if you have never considered it before, and why so many in vet med struggle with focus, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion without fully understanding why. If you have ever felt like this job should not feel this hard, this episode will help you better understand your brain, your stress, and what might actually be driving it.
