anxiety 
Anxiety isn’t just for the “weak,” the “lazy” or the “poor souls;” it is a host of disorders that probably affect more people than anyone would like to believe. If you or someone you know has an anxiety disorder, you are not alone. The latest statistics from the National Institute of Mental Health indicate that 40 million people age 18 and over in the US have an anxiety disorder. Six million Americans in the same age group have panic disorder and 7.7 million suffer from PTSD. When it comes to anxiety in social situations (formerly Social Phobia), we find there are about 15 million people with this disorder. Add them all up (many people have more than one form of anxiety) and it is staggering. So, it’s not an isolated disorder, it affects every class, race and segment of this society and probably many other societies, too, and these people need, in fact, they deserve help.

BURNOUT
Feeling like things are becoming too much for you lately? Perhaps you’re irritable and feel unappreciated, overworked and just need a break? You might be experiencing the symptoms of “burnout,” a common phenomenon that affects just about everyone, if they don’t take time to smell the roses. We’ve put a few categories here, but that doesn’t mean burnout is the exclusive domain of people in those professions. Anyone can experience burnout. If you’re a parent, you certainly can feel the heavy burden of burnout.
Consider the fact that technology has made our work life an integral part of our at-home life and you can see that the problem needs attention. A 2007 survey found that 20% of workers would be checking in with the office while on vacation, 77% said they felt burned out on the job, 37% of working fathers would consider less pay for a better balance of work and home life and more than 50% of the people in the survey indicated they worked under a great deal of stress.
What can yo do about it? You’re probably saying to yourself that Dr. Farrell really doesn’t understand, she’s never been there. It’s my job, my home, my spouse, my income, my mortgage and it’s all coming down on my head at once. Yes, I do understand because I’m in a group of the prime professions for burnout--the helping professions.
What are some of the signs of burnout? Here are a few:
Feeling more cynical, critical and becoming sarcastic
Diminished ability to feel joy
Problems getting yourself to work
Getting to work late and wanting to leave early
Easily irritated and impatient
Little satisfaction from your achievements
Poor ability to “laugh things” off
Disillusioned about your job
Sleep or appetite changes
Frequent headache, neck or lower back pain
