We are doing an ever growing amount of work with employers and their staff about understanding stress and its impact on individuals, their families and the businesses in which they work.
Like all things its a spectrum, and at the extreme end you get burn out, a euphemism for when your mind and/or body just say that's enough and pack up shop.

It’s not ‘us and them’; it’s each of us living a life with peaks and troughs, and anyone suffering from enough pressure could be at risk of developing burnout.”
