What are the symptoms of the phases preceding burn out?
Burn out is characterized by different types of symptoms: physical (fatigue, muscle tension, weight gain or loss), emotional (irritability or hypersensitivity) and behavioral (reduced concentration, social isolation, loss of motivation for work, aggressive behavior). There are several possible solutions to burnout: rest (relaxation, etc.), sick leave, psychotherapy, medication... In all cases, don't hesitate to consult your doctor, who will guide you towards appropriate treatment.
