Burnout – What are the warning signs? | DW Documentary

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide suffer burnout. Hairdressers, businesspeople, teachers, students. Thousands of men and women of all ages, who experience a breakdown. Suddenly, they can no longer go on.

This mostly invisible and insidious illness often gnaws at those affected for a long time. Often, they report not knowing why they feel so bad. Diagnosis is difficult. How can you recognize the symptoms before it’s too late? What are the warning signs? What tools do we have to deal with it? And why does the WHO not recognize burnout as a disease?

In Europe and North America, measures are now being taken to prevent the onset of the disease and to measure its cost to society. In France, structures are being created for the care and reintegration of those affected. However, there still seems to be a long way to go before mental health in the workplace becomes a priority again in today’s world.
