Maternal Burnout

Maternal burnout is a state of deep physical and emotional exhaustion associated with the ongoing demands of parenting, in which the mother feels that her resources for caregiving have been overwhelmed.

Common symptoms: It may show up as extreme fatigue, emotional distancing from the children, a sense of failure in the maternal role, and persistent irritability or discouragement.

Common causes: It is often related to an overload of responsibilities, lack of rest, scarce support, and pressure to meet high expectations.

Which professional can help? The psychologist provides guidance to recognize these signs and rebuild emotional balance. If the exhaustion drags on and affects your daily life, seeking professional support is a valuable step in self-care.
