Burnout is now an official medical condition

We all knew it was legit - by Tara Ali
  • 14 Jun 2019

Workplace “burnout” has been added burnout to the International Classification of Diseases as of 2020 by The World Health Organisation, giving this condition the official recognition it deserves.

Most professionals have felt the symptoms, which are typically: chronic stress, fatigue, lack of focus and trouble competing minor tasks.

In our modern day work culture of budget cuts, long hours, and not enough of us taking our annual leave, burnout is commonplace, but this condition is now classified as "a syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed," in the WHO's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) under "Problems associated with employment or unemployment."

This classification means that it can be officially diagnosed by medical professionals (in the same way that other disorders anxiety or depression can) and sufferers could then be able to take time off with sick leave to recover.
