According to WHO, burnout is true, but is not a disease

The new edition of the International Clbadification of Diseases (ICD-11) published by the WHO sees burnout as a professional phenomenon and not as a disease

Burnout is included in the 11th revision of the International Clbadification of Diseases (ICD-11) as a professional phenomenon. This is not clbadified as a medical condition.

Burnout is included in the chapter "Factors influencing health status or contact with health services" – which includes the reasons why people seek the help of a physician but are not clbadified diseases or health problems. It is defined in ICD-11 as "a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic stress at work that has not been successfully managed."

According to WHO, burnout is characterized by a feeling of exhaustion or exhaustion of energy, an increased mental distance from work, or a feeling of negativism or work-related cynicism; and reduced professional efficiency. Building on a growing body of research, the eleventh edition now baderts that this syndrome is solely due to "chronic stress at work" and "should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life". life".

Burnout was included for the first time in ICD-10 but was explained in less detail as a "state of life depletion". Burnout is not uncommon, even among health professionals. It is generally known that this occurs in highly stressful occupations, which are on schedule and have fewer opportunities to take vacations. In a study of nearly 3,600 resident physicians who were questioned since medical school, 45% reported symptoms of burnout in a recent study published by JAMA.

A similar report from Harvard said that the burnout of doctors in the United States was a public health crisis. Health experts hope that the updates will add legitimacy to an emerging and misunderstood problem. The World Health Organization is now considering developing factual guidelines on mental well-being in the workplace.
