Marc Haine describes building a support system for burnout that includes team, family, and professionals. He tapered off depression and anxiety medications over six months under clinical supervision, warning that stopping abruptly causes a yo-yo effect.
Just checking with yourself first. Where are you at? What's going on with you? With burnout, making sure that you're not trying to do it all alone. Making sure that you've got not just your team support but your family support, professional support. Can't highlight that enough. So, counseling. My case, psychiatrists, doctors. I've been fortunate. I've actually come off my medications for depression and anxiety over the last 6 months. And that's been a process, but I've done it in a way with clinical supervision that I'm feeling very confident that I will not have to go back there. Whereas if you just kind of dump off, then you could be setting yourself up on a yo-yo.
