ADHD Chatter · 3 Signs You've Hit Clinical Burnout And Should Seek Help | Dr Jo Perkins · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

Rest isn't the thing that fixes it.

It's also another misconception linked to that is that it's because you're not working smart.

You're just working too hard.

It's not.

It's that you've been working maybe too hard in a particular way against conditions over a long period of time, and you're not getting the rest and recovery.

So burnout is distinctly different, even if it's not experienced and noticed as different by us as individuals, to being tired.

Certainly for someone, well, for anyone,

it's depletion on a gradual basis of your resources, your capacity, your capability, your energy.

You will find things just harder, more effortful, typically.

And that can be quite subtle in those early stages.

But actually, the thing that's important is that it's different to how you would normally be as a sort of baseline.

And in ADHD brains and bodies, it can be more of the same

but exaggerate it.

So more executive function challenges.

So it can feel quite familiar, but I think that what's important is that it's more pervasive.

It's not just I'm having a bad morning or a bad day, or you can point to why it's happening.

It's a struggle to keep performing at the level that you're either expected to or used to doing.

Because you can't access the same kinds of resource.

So everything just feels harder.

You feel more emotionally, maybe short-tempered, irritable.
