Dear RR ji,
Either its some occult practice gone wrong or work related problem which led to this state of mind of this individual .Age as such is not a big factor and even a short stint of work with wrong state of mind can trigger a burnout. Once again this a personal opinion with strong gut feeling about it,i certainly may be wrong with my assumption, but to err is human. To strive is to learn even if its a hard lesson thus learned.
Burnout is the index of the dislocation between what people are and what they have to do. It represents an erosion in values, dignity, spirit, and will -- an erosion of the human soul. (Maslach and Leiter, 1997, p. 24)
Meaning
burnout occurs when the calling of caring for others and giving to others in an area such as emotional development, intellectual growth, or physical wellness no longer gives sufficient meaning in one's life. Individuals in the caring professions derive much "psychic income" from helping others. In religious terms, such occupations are often labeled a calling, a calling to something of great value. When the meaning of the work disappears, an existential crisis can develop, and meaning burnout can result. My definition is that meaning burnout occurs when the meaning of the work has been lost and the existential purpose for the work is gone. (Skovholt, 2001, pp. 111-112)

woStages of Burnout
Our adaptation of Veninga and Spradley's (1981) very helpful model of stages of job burnout is briefly presented as a means to do an armchair assessment of the intensity of burnout risk which you now face.
Stage 1 Honeymoon -- marked by high job satisfaction, commitment, energy, and creativity, the key issue is what patterns of coping strategies you begin to develop when facing the inevitable stresses of the job. In theory, if the patterns of coping are positive, adaptive, then you will remain in the honeymoon stage indefinitely. But few persons do.
Stage 2 Balancing Act -- as opposed to the unbridled optimism and positiveness of Stage 1, you now are clearly aware that some days are better than others regarding how well you are handling the stress on the job. An awareness of a noticeable increase in the following is indicative of Stage 2:2.1 job dissatisfaction2.2 work inefficiency, including avoiding making necessary decisions, "losing" stuff at work (even on your desk!), etc.2.3 fatigue (a general fatigue, often accompanied by deep muscle fatigue)2.4 sleep disturbances (often that you are so "busy" in your head that you can't get to sleep)2.5 escapist activities of choice (including eating, drinking, smoking, zoning out in front of the TV, etc.)
Stage 3 Chronic Symptoms -- marked by an intensification of some of the same indicators cited in Stage 2, including3.1 chronic exhaustion3.2 physical illness (remember that stress is a risk factor in many diseases)3.3 anger, depression
Stage 4 Crisis -- the symptoms become critical4.1 physical symptoms intensify and/or increase in number4.2 obsessing about work frustrations4.3 pessimism and self-doubt dominate thinking4.4 you develop an "escapist mentality" --
Stage 5 Enmeshment -- The symtoms of burnout are so embedded in your life that you are more likely to be labeled as having some significant physical or emotional problem than you are to becalled a burnout case.
Despite the sobering implications of the model, the hopeful issue is that, short of death or some incapacitating physical or emotional illness, it is always possible to take action to strengthen your coping skills and to move back up the chart toward Stage 1.
The wiser course of action, though, is to be actively involved in positive self-care as a primary prevention issue. As you already have learned throughout this website [especially in the "Sustainers" section], there is not a "formula" way to do this -- each of us goes about it differently, and needs to.

We should not assume that this young man suffered a burnout in such a short time of work, and so suddenly. It could be something very different and more serious ... |
