Yes, you're probably experiencing burnout. But here's what that actually means

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

We've been living and working in a pandemic for more than a year. And a lot of people are feeling burnout creeping up on them. Whether it's anxiety, depression, motivation or focus problems -- most people have probably experienced these things to one extent or another, but after a year of separation, and work/life balance being messed up and dealing with incredible loss the whole time... this feels different. So is this burnout right now any more alarming than the normal kind? What kind of things can we do to work through it? And, are our brains resilient enough to recover after all this is over? Dr. Jacqueline Barker, assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at Drexel University College of Medicine joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about what burnout is actually doing to our brains and what you can do about it.
