Why does occupational or work burnout syndrome happen? Can stress lead to work burnout? Dr. Gerald Fishkin, the author of 3 books on occupational burnout and stress, explains why and how occupational burnout happens, and how to overcome burnout!

In many cases, it's not necessarily the intensity or negative effects of your work that lead to burnout or the inability to cope with stress but rather, your personality coupled with occupational factors that can predispose you to burnout.

When we are repeatedly exposed to stressors, our natural response is to deal with it using whatever coping methods we have learned. Sometimes our own actions can be counterproductive such as:

 - Overeating
 - Frequent Binging
 - Substance abuse
 - Excessive use of power and authority
 - workaholism
and more
