Burnout isn't a weakness. It's a real, serious condition that develops after prolonged stress — and it can affect anyone: physicians, executives, teachers, parents, first responders, and caregivers alike.

​

If you're running on empty, feeling detached from work you used to care about, or noticing that no amount of rest seems to help, it may be time to speak with a psychiatrist.

​

At Health and Harmony Psychiatry, Dr. Allison McDade specializes in helping high-achieving professionals and caregivers in Houston identify and recover from burnout — before it leads to more serious mental health consequences.

​

Signs you may be experiencing burnout:

• Chronic exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest

• Emotional detachment or cynicism about your job or life

• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions

• Physical symptoms like headaches, sleep problems, or frequent illness

• Feeling like nothing you do is ever enough

​

How we help: Dr. McDade provides a thorough psychiatric evaluation to understand what's driving your burnout and whether co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression are present. Treatment is personalized and may include medication management, structured guidance, and coordinated care with therapists.

​

Burnout affects Houston's hardest workers. Houston is home to some of the most driven professionals in the country — in energy, healthcare, law, and beyond. Dr. McDade understands the culture and the pressure, and provides care without judgment.
