Burnout is oftentimes a precursor to more serious mental health issues.

If spouses could catch burnout, they might continue to have patience and compassion. With burnout, we all wear a little thin.

How do we identify burnout? How is law enforcement burnout unique? What can we do if we already realize we are in burnout? How can we reverse the impact?
