The Science of BURNOUT | Kati Morton & guest Dr. Barry Lieberman

I adore all the animation/cutaways that’s in here, really helps to visualise all this brain talk! Finding this series super interesting, thanks Katie ☺️

I think so many of us suffer from 'burnout' while simultaneously thinking we are 'not doing enough' or 'we should do more' :/ Thanks Kate for this relevant video:)

Good point. Can become a downward cycle.

Exactly!

[@imadeyoureadthis1]

Writing my thesis + plus work + going to sleep every day 1-4 am then wake up 7am to go to work and thinking that my effort is not worth enough. Then going to KZbin to see if I burned myself after 2.5 weeks. I don't have a clear view it seems...

Burnouts are difficult to deal with, they make you feel exhausted all the time😩 Lucky for us Kati is teaching us about burnouts!

[@ellieee1439]

Authentic Mental Health hi charlie

[@OnlyPureSounds]

You talk so lightly about this but i am for a year already in a burnout and its far from healed

[@Qugoria]

I've been burned out for 1.5 years now, if not even longer but that's when I got my diagnosis and the first thing me and my therapist did was break down my weekly schedule completely and then slowly build it up again through time, starting with taking care of the dishes every day, and then vacuuming once a week, then meet a friend once a week. Just doing one thing at a time until it's not giving me anxiety and making me feel exhausted anymore, and create a more realistic life where I don't have to do everything, all the time. Last week I learned that turning my phone off every once in a while is really important as it's stressing me out so much that I constantly feel like I have to be online and be updated on everything. It's almost as if I'm doing two things at once all the time, keeping an eye on my phone and whatever the else I'm doing. Turn the phone off!!

[@santeenl]

How are you doing now?

[@Qugoria]

@@santeenl better, but still burnt out. Been home on disability for 5 years and I'm just now on my way to practise working again, once a week.

[@laurenquirky]

is it just me or is dr. lieberman voice hella relaxing.

[@mythicalmelodies276]

I love when he says "Quit your fucking job" because I love the simplicity of that solution but it might not be practical. Kati herself said she used to work 3 jobs and still couldn't get by (it be like that in California) so it doesn't sound like she had a choice. But she made a key point: the reward needs to change. I can encourage myself when I get burnt out on school because it's temporary. But some people's situations seem to stretch indefinitely and they either have to find a way to adapt or alter the situation. And they do talk about that in the video.

[@whichonespink7]

I like when he touches on human evolution not preparing us for this. This is something I've thought a lot about. We're all supposed to conform to a cookie cutter 9-5 lifestyle and there's so much emphasis put on "the hustle." But we're all so different with totally different needs and lifestyles that work best for us, and the 9-5 hustle doesn't adapt with that diversity. The biggest tragedy is that instead of questioning the system itself, we just blame ourselves when we experience burnout. This has defined my twenties and I wish I had realized this truth much sooner.

[@georgemulford2910]

Well said. I think a lot of that starts in school which I think is used to condition people to get them ready for the 9-5 and not finding their unique needs and lifestyle like you said.

[@thisisntallowed9560]

The way our world works scares me and I don't want to have to live in it.. I don't feel like I can because I am personally extremely emotional, so I can't stand feelings like boredom, stress and things like that.. I tend to catch mental disorders like depression, burn-out, anxiety and more to come! I have immense qualities because of my emotions but it can be such a burden to be overly emotional and empathetic in a society that makes narcissists and work/focused people succed.

[@ArtsyMegz_On_Etsy]

Not to mention that business owners don't want to put enough staff on to relieve the stress of the job. I don't even have the option to reduce my hours, because I am only one of two employees who run a Breakfast buffet. This means, preparing and cooking food, keeping enough out on the buffet table, restocking all of the condiments (and coffee cups, cream, sugar, napkins, etc.), plus keep the dining room clean. Oh, and if we have a moment to breathe, that's when we go clean the lobby entrance and vacuum the hallways. It is a major stress-and-a-half, and this is how businesses run today, which makes me feel hopeless because I know that I am eventually going to have a total break down (and probably be let go).

[@tonyveloz6698]

Same here

[@EllieGrant1]

My psychiatrist says I have burnout from ptsd anxiety being so severe for the past year and constantly living in the hyper-vigilant state that my brain has given up.

[@mythicalmelodies276]

Did they say that and offer no solution? That just seems like a shitty way to end the conversation

[@Trixy451]

They told me the same.. Makes sense in a way, but it is also always difficult to believe that my past was bad enough to cause such a big thing..

[@something42023]

I hope that you feel better. Were any solutions offered?

[@DanBowkley]

Burnout: situation-specific depression Depression: life burnout

[@thisisntallowed9560]

I don't know. I've had depression and I think I have a burn out right now, and these two emotions are very different. When you're depressed, well, you're depressed and have suicidal thoughts, but when you're burned out it feels more like stress and worrying, and you feel extremely depressed but only when you're in the situation that made you burned out. I guess it's possible to feel burned out from life too..

[@MatTZI014]

This is actually mind blowing. Nice and simple perspective. Thanks!

[@buffster666]

Thank you for you fascinating videos 😄 Last year, I was suffering from panic attacks and burnt out. I had a negative work environment and workplace bullying. I left that job, rested and went through therapy. Now I'm feeling much better. I'm here to say it gets better. I want anyone here experiencing this to know that it gets better.

[@jmilligandesign]

One thing we can do this week is to say no. I just said no to three projects in a row. Mostly due to timelines. I'm booked solid over the next few days and I let them know I couldn't finish them by the time they're requesting. However, I could do them deliverable for early next week. I guess I've grown a set . . . of new boundaries :)

[@_just_TK]

John P. Milligan 😹 (In that case I think my “boundaries” are a little underdeveloped). 🤦‍♀️😹

[@tiffany8154]

Is it possible to heal?

[@johnlime1469]

This. Set boundaries. We should be honest about what we are capable of with the current health instead of trying to make up for work that you can't do.

[@dancingonthesea]

Love Dr. Lieberman! The blood test joke had me rolling haha 😂

[@lostusaslambus]

I work at a residential facility as a therapist. I've been battling burnout for months. I really feel, as a newer therapist, that I have to take my knocks and show I'm worth my salt, but the job is highly unstructured, sometimes genuinely dangerous, boundaries are problematic, and has a high workload. Despite a rotating effort to maintain a work-life balance and self-care routine it keeps slipping in favor of work and I have been getting sick often. But most other people think what I'm doing is so *wonderful* that it seems like I'd be betraying the community by leaving and I don't know that many would support the choice. I'm also not sure it wouldn't be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

[@flaviacalina]

Thank you so much for this! It’s so so so relatable. I have been a KZbinr for 7 years and just listening to “what it is” makes me feel relieved, like... oh I’m not going crazy ☺️

[@MrJawstherevenge87]

My problem is it affected my sleep and I switched jobs which is alot less stressful but it's still taking me time to heal.

[@leotafaulkner4829]

i asked a similar question cause I too am experiencing this. I asked on a career site and what a lot of the professionals on there replied was if your management or HR isn't helping ditch that ship before it sinks.

[@rubym3915]

I’m sorry you are going through this, you don’t deserve it. I also find this happens a lot to women of color, not sure why but it’s my observation. Money is never worth your confidence and sanity.

[@ryantrue4844]

Love this series so far. I was burning out at my old work place due to me volunteering for extra things ontop of work as well as my work giving me more things to do, I snapped and had a go at my boss (apologised when I next saw him) and he told me he gave me the extra work as he thinks I'm coasting through things and not pushing myself

[@Katimorton]

wow... I am so sorry your boss thinks like that :( Ugh! I hope this series is helpful for you!! After learning more about burnout as a whole I will get into how to heal from it and stop it from happening again. xoxo

[@ryantrue4844]

@@Katimorton thank you, I've moved since then and work has gone mental as km doing what people usually have 12 months to do in 4 months, my new boss asked me how I'm doing and when I said okay (my go to response) he was like dont BS me, dont tell me what you think I want to hear, how are you doing? Which was good. Hes been helpful with it all

[@TheRabidfan]

Incredible timing in my life. I've been doing 50-60 hours per week between two jobs and having a real rough time with burnout.

[@AmnahEjaz]

For me, it really helped to know that we can suffer from burnout from things not necessarily job-related like being a stay at home mom or maybe even studying. Because there were times in my life when I was going through this and I wasn't working at that time. I had no idea why I was being so... emotional. Naturally, if the amygdala is enlarged, it'd make things like anger outbursts or even crying spells that much more common and it helps me understand myself better. Thanks Katie, really helped

[@lynnr189]

Thank you for this interesting video. I experienced occupational burn out as a teacher, especially when they kept giving me the toughest students year after year and required constant overtime. I didn't have time for a family of my own. I finally quit and thankfully met my husband. I don't feel burned out any more.

[@_just_TK]

Lynn R the irony is the teachers who are the best at handling troubled kids tend to get the most of them! A principal I once worked w/ at an inner-city school once told me that everyone has a few good years to give. Then you either leave for a less stressful school or you burnout and become apathetic. (We both left soon after that)

[@jessicacalhoun8988]

Lynn R, something similar happened to me with teaching. Too much workload with too many years of getting the more difficult students pushed me out the door of education. I didn’t feel appreciated for my work and I knew I had to leave because I didn’t want my students to suffer. I feel a sense of guilt that I left, but I know it is what is right for my mental, physical and emotional health. I’m now in the recovery period and I’m looking into other career possibilities. Wish me luck!

[@lkw5699]

This past week at work was my breaking point. Overworked, understaffed. Management that doesn't care. So glad I took 2 extra days off to rest. I was ready to quit

[@pajama_weather]

I'd be interested in diving into burnout and how it can come about due to dealing with disabilities. It seems to be not uncommon that a lot of us go through a cycle of trudging on and then having a down of burnout about taking care of ourselves, because it really is a full time job for us. Unfortunately not many options as far as taking up different hours or new employment though. lol

[@lynncrf]

Going this right now. I tried to pretend to myself that I was healthy and rushed around doing lots of things. Quelle surprise: I ended up very sick.

[@blueecho9792]

Yes PLEASE! I have Asperger's and ADHD and I get overwhelmed so quickly! It sucks; it ends up leading to burnout 😪

[@genealotech]

I’m currently in therapy and meds for depression and anxiety, but there is definitely an element of burnout in there.

[@LifeinGlow]

Thank you for the video Kati!

[@mazgareanu]

I observed the topic sporadically over the years to understand what a colleague of my was going through. Yesterday I understood that I myself reached that point when I abruptly decided to stop working and close my laptop way earlier than closing time. This morning I wrote an email to my manager explaining my state of mind and now I watch videos to help me with tackling this ugly phenomenon. This video was sooo validating! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@mrm710953]

I've been thinking that I'm dealing with burnout right now. This video almost solidified a couple viewpoints that affirms what I thought. It was good to know that the symptoms of burnout and depression are similar because that's what I thought I was feeling, but felt that it wasn't depression. Also...my mind blew open when you talked about how we can feel guilty on the negative feelings, even when the positive feelings are a tangible thing. I've been getting many compliments on what I've done at my job, but don't take time to acknowledge probably because I'm viewing/nitpicking the negative out of it. The "i could've done this better" or "I need to work on this". That has been such a constant going on that it makes me feel better knowing that that is also a sign of burnout.

[@ynotw57]

The thoughtfulness, introspection, humanness (is that a word?), and depth you go in your subjects kept me tuned in. Your back and forth “pain in the ass” is what made me subscribe. Honestly, thank you for these videos.

[@saraa3418]

I'm a SAHM struggling with ADHD, and anxiety and depression. I thought I was burnt out last summer, but it was really a worsening of my anxiety and prompted me to talk to my doctor about medication. Now I'm on Zoloft and feeling better, but I know that burnout stalks me and with it a worsening of my symptoms. Here's what I do: - Make a point of connecting with friends. With or without the kids. Just meeting for an hour at the park to chat while the kids run around can fuel the rest of the day. - Cut myself some slack and say yes to things that aren't mission critical. I'm trying to become ok with "good enough." -Let my husband parent when he is home. I don't want to be the go-to for everything in the house. I want my kids to know that their father is just as capable as I am.

[@pmbluemoon]

My burnout occurred when I was working 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, my record was 47 days in a row of work with NO days off. I tried to ask for 1 day off a week, it just wasn't happening, along with trying new medications, I was a safety hazard, so i had to quit my job, sell my house. I was never the same after that. Something in my brain BROKE. I'm bummed and have been trying to gain back my losses, but so far, I've been about 25% successful in figuring out what happened (also had a family crisis at the time) and WOW... it can be a really life altering event. Thank you for this video! :)

[@KarmasAbutch]

Chris Moon Same thing happened to me... no one stays to help you pick up the pieces... now I’m permanently fatigued and at its worst ... almost have a trauma response to trying to exert effort at anything.

Had never thought about how your brain is impacted in the moment when you're stressed/angry etc. Make so much sense though. It's one of those things that makes sense ein hindsight when you hear about it. Already love this series

[@stoffls]

Another great video, thank you Kati! It really helps me understand the difference between depression and burnout and many thanks to Dr. Lieberman, for his contribution. I really enjoyed watching this conversation and one highlight (and maybe eyeopener in some way) was, that he said, that burnout is probably another form of depression. And that burnout is not only work-related, but also relates to bad relationships. Thank you Kati, keep up your great work - your channel taught me a lot and helped me so much, also in evaluating my therapy!

[@vickythecat1741]

What about people in countries where they have to work 60-80 hours a week at unfulfilling jobs, horrible spaces, not being respected or even seen by managers and only make a few dollars a day? (sweatshop like settings) These people have no other option but do those horrible jobs (and we, people in richer countries are allowing this to happen), they don't even have the option to be 'burn-out' and take a leave of absence, go on a holiday, go to therapy etc.? Can we also focus on those people, people who don't have it as well as the people in rich countries? Thank you.

What to do this week....when I'm feeling exhausted and telling myself that I have to do more, I'm going to give myself a minute to write down some accomplishments/achievements. Instead of always focusing on what's not done/what's left to do, I'm going to remind myself to see the things that did provide satisfaction and pride. I would be interested in hearing anyone's unique self care ideas though; my go-tos are walking my dog and reading fiction books.

I took Dr Lieberman's advice and "quit my fucking job" that was causing my burnout. I'm currently receiving short term state disability for my mental condition and am very thankful for the validation not only from my own therapist, but from both of you. Thanks, Kati and Dr Lieberman for your suggestions and explanation. I work in health care and know so many of my coworkers who are battling the same work-related burnout. I'm also thankful that I'm not a physician and have the luxury of being able to take some time off and get mentally stronger. I am contemplating changing careers and not returning to health care.

[@RPisa2416]

This is an amazing sit down Kati, thank you!!

[@justanotherotaku1]

Back when I used to volunteer at a rabbit rescue I was told that burnout is very common in the rescue world (and also that vets have a high rate of suicide). Seeing so many bad cases and animals dying despite your efforts, as well as the emotional effect of witnessing neglect and trying to educate ignorant/stubborn people. It all gets too much...but then you feel guilty for feeling that way because the animals need an avdvocate and continued support. It takes a lot of emotional and mental strength to be involved in that world.

[@soosun4957]

Thank you for another great discussion Kati. It’s very comforting to know that professionals such as yourself and Dr. Lieberman are able to explain these issues so openly and simply. My thoughts are that feelings of burnout and depression are normal in our lives as humans. I think that what is so important is how each of us develop a sense of self awareness and instinctual confidence when we go thru those feelings, and it is so important that during that period, almost step outside of our body and mind to take an objective look at ourselves as it is happening. Then, we can see how it is possible to overcome it by acknowledging it, accepting that it is normal to feel that way, and gain perspective which is what will help us rid our ill thoughts. Almost like riding an ocean wave. We can survive it if we just believe that we are capable of handling it. And always knowing that we are not alone. Ever. 🙏❤️

[@KierMailan]

I had experienced burnout and it brought me to the point of contemplating suicide. After an anxiety attack from the heavy workload & loss of heart in what I was doing I had a wake up call. I always thought I was never doing enough and after taking a break to step back. I realized how great I do have it and I am now seeking ways to really have a full life outside of work. Also, to actually enjoy the fruits of my labour which has paid off in ways I couldn't realize in the dread of another work day. So far, I am feeling a lot better now. But, thank you for touching on this topic in such depth. Super excited to watch the rest of this series. :)

Those surgeons who organised a strike sound like brave strong people. It’s not easy to stand up to authority or try to change a way a society is structured when you know something is wrong.

Thank you for this, Katie! I've suffered repeated burnout since beginning a new career 8 years ago (software engineering). Heavy workloads and long hours. Studying in a programme without support for mature students and again with long hours. In some cases bad management. The contractor cycle, shifting between financial insecurity and periods without work and high demand and high pressure. And a lot of impostor syndrome, with recruiting agencies, colleagues, expectations that put upskilling and retraining onto my own efforts (outside of work), etc. I've now reached the point of thinking of canning it, going back to study a different new career, and just do software as a hobby thing, plus it gives more time for enjoyable hobbies (Photography, Languages).

Great presentation. Thanks. Just came through a bout of burnout that I felt was related to having plateaued in my quest for self-improvement. That led to depression. After having congestive heart failure l was forced to re-evaluate my direction in life which surprisingly reduced my burnout and as a direct result got rid of my depression. Now I look forward to a renewed sense of direction with new vitality. Hope this message was helpful. Thanks again for your presentation.

When my therapist diagnosed me, eye didnt ask what the means, so eye had know eyedear what what happening. While watching greys anatomy they opened up with a thorough description of burnout and cause. Really sparked my interest, eye began to reserch and look for ways to heal my amygdala. Eye found havening, it helped not fully healed but better. That's good enough for me.

[@GK-qc5ry]

Great video Kati enjoying this new series. There's still so much science to explore with the long term effects of cortisol in the body and mind over a long life and whether it leads to age related brain issues later in life. It's crazy that if you can control your anxiety/stress levels at work you can control your cortisol levels. It's just difficult to master.

The only perfect about my life atm was the timing of this video. I've been depressed for months and I recently burnt out too, it's horrible and of course no one believes me. Thank you for this video.

Amazingly informative and the perfect amount of laughs Kati! Love listening to you interview others as you bring out the gold in a subject. Especially like the animations too, the conversation starters and homework. Love the editing styles and tips I am learning from you gurus! Wonder if DJ Sean will be animated?? Hahaha. Keep up the great work legends!! Thanks for changing our world, our brains and our lives. A series like this on trauma would be so helpful and needed around mental health circles and conversations.

This series is tremendously helpful! I'm between therapists and psychiatrists right now and I'm just realizing that I had untreated burnout over the last several years in addition to my major depression. The headaches and brain fog, sleep trouble, and constant fatigue... I kept wondering why my medication changes weren't helping all this time and wondering what direction to go with my doctors. I have some new insight on what to talk to my next therapist about.

today is my second month without DOING ANY EFFORT ( both professionally and socially) , i haven't been able to go to class ( im a second year medstudent and it's not necessary to attend in my country ) , exams are coming up and i promised my self to go to a therapist after the exams but i need a quick fix, i feel trapped ( ps : I've been battling alone with depression for many years now, but i managed to stay the " straight A student" i was, even though i always leave work til the last minute but it's getting worse and worse ) ps have a good day ♥

[@rahafalqarehi7299]

I suffer from the exact things that you mentioned and I'm a third year medical student. unfortunately the attendance is compulsory in my country, so imagine having to go to classes everyday although you know you won't comprehend anything. i intended to ignore the situation for the upcoming three months -same like you, after exams end-. but I knew if the exams came while I'm in this state, it will be a matter of time for me to fail this year and i'd have to repeat it again and seriously that's alone pushed me to reach for help. month ago I booked an appointment to meet with a therapist and currently we're trying to work the situation out. I don't know yet if it's going to be effective or not but at least it's worth trying. have a nice day and if you could, you should seek a professional help.

This opened my eyes, i now know why im always lethargic and not motivated enough in job i was so passionate about. The guilt theory 👍👍👍

Random video idea: could you compare and contrast BPD (borderline personality disorder) and RAD (reactive attachment disorder) Love that you are talking about burning out. I definitely felt this way when I had a lot going on at home and went straight to college after graduating high school early. I ended up taking most of the year off and it helped
