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.

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.

No health without mental health - Who will care for caregivers?

"SINGAPORE – As the mother of a son with a serious mental health condition, Ms Evelyn Chng knows full well the challenges of caregiving, and the importance of having support.

Today, she works for social service agency Caregivers Alliance Limited (CAL), where she connects new caregivers with support in psychoeducation, training or counselling. CAL is the only social service agency focused on caregiving that has an outpost at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).

Ms Chng said caring for loved ones with mental health problems can lead to social isolation, financial difficulties and emotional turmoil. She can spot the negative emotions such as anger, aggression, frustration, low self-esteem, constant worry and feelings of helplessness. "

Ms Eunice Lim, clinical psychologist from therapy outfit Heartscape Psychology, said that when this happens, it could contribute to fatigue, burnout, and negative self-beliefs around competence, especially in individuals with perfectionistic tendencies."
