- 2025.

“Mental overload beyond the action” is a paradox that reflects an individual's maladaptation to the environment and their vulnerability in the face of challenges. Known as burnout, this condition combines emotional exhaustion, withdrawal from the world, and impaired professional and cognitive performance. Accompanied by a state of chronic stress, it can lead to medical pathologies. The risk factors for burnout are: workload, lack of control, lack of recognition, and a difficult or even hostile environment. Combating conditions that lead to burnout means improving individual health as well as collective performance and resilience.
