Here’s what else is happening in mental health you should know about:

• Burnout Crisis Exposes Flaws: According to CBS 42, half of U.S. workers report moderate to severe burnout, depression, or anxiety in the 2025 Mental Health at Work Report. This is a big deal because it highlights systemic gaps in support. Personally, I think this means more calls for accessible mental health resources and policy reforms to address widespread exhaustion.

• Workplace Anxiety Surge: According to Forbes, job stress and burnout have hit 66% in 2025, likely to persist through year-end. This is a big deal because it affects productivity and well-being across industries. Personally, I think this means employers will prioritize mental health must-haves like flexible hours and wellness programs to curb the trend.

• Rising Employee Burnout: According to Cariloop, burnout is increasing in 2025, with more employees facing chronic stress and exhaustion, especially among specific groups. This is a big deal because it impacts retention and performance. Personally, I think this means companies will focus on targeted interventions like caregiver support and stress management training.
