Burnout Is Now Recognized as an Official Medical Condition, WHO Says

Burnout Is Now Recognized as an Official Medical Condition, WHO Says Burnout is real. It has been recognized as an official diagnosis by the World Health Organization. It says the condition is a result of exhaustion and having a negative feeling about your job.

Here's how the International Classification of Diseases, or the ICD-11, the World Health Organization's handbook that guides medical providers in diagnosing diseases, classifies burnout:

Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: 1) feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; 2) increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and 3) reduced professional efficacy. Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.
