Work stress, mental fatigue & insomnia
I am a 23-year-old male working in a high-pressure corporate job. For the past year, I've been working 10–12 hours a day. Recently, I've been experiencing significant mental fatigue, work-related stress, and burnout. Over the last 2–3 days, I've barely been able to sleep despite feeling exhausted. My mind keeps thinking about work, and I feel mentally drained and anxious. I would like to know if this is stress-related insomnia and what treatment or consultation would be appropriate.

Yes, this does seem like stress related insomnia. There can be some medical issues causing tiredness and insomnia which a physician can check for you and start on appropriate treatment. However, if there is no organic, systemic problem, you will probably need the help of a psychatrist/ psychologist for counselling.
Next Steps
Consult an internal physician first to rule out organic systemic problems, then consult a psychiatrist/ psychologist.
