The Overwork Report publishes editorial content about overwork, burnout, stress and recovery. It is general information, not medical or mental-health advice.
We are not physicians or therapists. Burnout can overlap with depression, anxiety and other conditions that deserve professional care. If your exhaustion comes with hopelessness, panic, substance reliance, or thoughts of harming yourself, that is beyond any article. Speak to a qualified professional.
If you or someone near you is in crisis in the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline). Outside the US, contact your local emergency services.
