Mental healthcare professionals play a critical role in society by providing essential care and support to individuals with mental health issues. However, their work can be incredibly challenging, often requiring long hours, high levels of stress, and intense emotional labor. As a result, many mental healthcare professionals experience burnout.
What Is Burnout?
Burnout is a psychological condition that results from chronic workplace stress. It is characterized by feelings of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced efficacy in one’s work.
Why Do So Many Mental Health Professionals Experience Burnout?
Burnout is often associated with high-stress occupations that require great deal of emotional labor, such as healthcare, social work, and education. Mental healthcare professionals especially experience high stress and emotional labor since the occupation focuses so heavily on serious issues that oftentime revolve around people’s emotions and behaviors which are driven by emotions. In working with people who may be emotionally unstable, it can be harder for mental health professionals to maintain their own emotional stability.
Why Is Burnout in Mental Healthcare Professions Increasing?
One of the biggest reasons for increased burnout in mental health professionals is due to the increase in caseload. The need for mental health services continues to increase as the population grows. The pandemic also skyrocketed the need for mental support. This increase in demand has been coupled with a supply shortage of therapists able to do the work. The supply shortage is partially due to the increasing costs of education, which is a requirement for becoming a legitimized therapist. As therapists look around their field, it can be a challenge to find a practice to work at that still values each therapist as a whole person that should be taken care of too.
