Perfectionism's Hidden Cost: Burnout and the Struggle for Balance

Perfectionism's Peril: How High Standards Lead to Burnout, Particularly Among Women Romania is facing a growing concern regarding burnout among women. A recent video excerpt from a conference, "Bun Bine | Armonie și Sănătate feminină," highlights this issue, featuring insights from Cristina Schmidt. Schmidt, an expert on the topic, explains how the pressure to achieve perfection in multiple life roles (mother, professional, etc.) contributes to significant stress and ultimately, burnout. "You're constantly comparing yourself to these ideal models," Schmidt explains, "and you're always in a deficit." The video, sponsored by UniCredit Bank and Our Communities, underscores the need for greater awareness and support for women's mental health. The full conference is available on DoctorMihail's YouTube channel. This initiative demonstrates a growing recognition of the importance of addressing this critical societal problem and encouraging healthier lifestyles.
