Stress is the body's normal response to pressure, but ongoing, unrelenting stress can lead to burnout — emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion with cynicism and reduced functioning. It is very common in women juggling work, home, caregiving, and parenting. It affects sleep, mood, body, and relationships, and raises the risk of anxiety and depression. It improves with boundaries, rest, support, and lifestyle changes — and professional help when it becomes overwhelming.
