Description
Last week, we covered the stress cycle — how your body's alarm system activates, and what happens when it never gets the signal to shut off. This week, we look at the other side: burnout, which is what happens when that unresolved stress goes on long enough that the alarm response itself starts to shut down.
In this special roundtable episode of Morning Rounds, Dr. Sompa Otabil-Nelson is joined by HR consultant Dr. Hazel Berrard Amuah and entrepreneur Marlvin Owusu to ask a question rarely asked out loud: is burnout a real, recognized problem in Ghana — or something we've only just started borrowing the language for?
