Feeling exhausted, unmotivated for work and like you've hit your limit? It might be burnout. This happens when the demands of work (or life) outweigh the time and energy you have to give. Quitting isn't an option for most, and vacations may not always be feasible, but there are ways to refresh your mind and body.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes burnout as an occupational phenomenon in its International Classification of Diseases (ICD). While it's not a medical condition, burnout often drives people to seek help due to its impact on physical and mental health.
