Stress is a part of life. Whether it’s a packed schedule, a demanding job, or family responsibilities, we all feel overwhelmed from time to time. But when stress becomes constant, unmanageable, and emotionally draining, it can lead to burnout — a much more serious state of mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion.
