Tarot is not diagnosis, and no card should be read as one. Read for health, a card describes the pattern around the body rather than the body itself: pace, recovery, stress load, and whether you are listening to what you already know.
The Ten of Wands depicts a figure bending under the crushing weight of ten bundled wands, carrying them toward a distant town. This card represents overwhelming responsibility, excessive burden, and the dangerous tendency to take on too much alone. You are working hard, but the load is threatening to break you.

Read upright, this is the version of the card you can act on directly.
Reversed, the Ten of Wands suggests the beginning of release from overwhelming obligations, the relief of delegating or dropping responsibilities, or the realization that you have carried far more than your fair share. Learning to let go is essential before you can find balance and breathe again.

Cards lean rather than answer. Upright, Ten Of Wands leans toward the quality it names being available; reversed, that quality is obstructed. Read both with the rest of the spread.
No. Reversed usually means the energy is internal, delayed or blocked — not the opposite of the upright meaning.
A great deal. Single-card readings are a starting point; neighbouring cards decide how this one actually reads.
