This is also called ‘burn out’. It is a syndrome caused because one becomes physically and mentally tired to a more-than-necessary degree. This is due to the stress caused by not being able to get enough satisfaction and/or a sense of achievement, even though one has worked hard. Mental symptoms such as lethargy and physical symptoms such as insomnia and/or headaches appear.
