Nature’s power for the mind and soul
Low mood tends to manifest differently in different people.
Affected people may experience lack of drive, melancholy and exhaustion.
Low mood often causes you to lose interest in activities you used to enjoy.
Other typical signs include shutting oneself away or shunning activities of daily living, typically accompanied by an increased need for sleep. However, low mood may also be associated with agitation and restlessness at night, as well as difficulty concentrating and making decisions.
The same symptoms are also seen in burnout. Burnout may have many different signs and is often triggered by unrelenting stress that can no longer be managed. The more severe a burnout syndrome is, the greater the likelihood of developing low mood at the same time.
In fact, there is no clear-cut distinction between burnout and depressed mood. If your low mood persists longer periods or is beginning to take over your daily life, it is essential that you seek advice from your healthcare practitioner.
