Burnout

Dear Dr. Gould:

Do you believe in the "burn out" syndrome?

If so, what can be done to avoid it, or in case someone is suffering from it, what can be done to overcome it?

Thanks for your help.

Burn out essentially means you have been beating your head against the wall fo  too long, continuing to try solutions that don't work.  It's a wakeup time..to try a new approach...so go to therapy, and work hard to understand and overcome...
