The ICD-11 of the World Health Organization (WHO) describes occupational burnout as an occupational phenomenon resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, with symptoms characterized by "feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and reduced professional efficacy."[4] It is classified as an occupational phenomenon, but is not recognized by the WHO as a medical condition.[5] Maslach and colleagues made clear that burnout does not constitute "a single, one-dimensional phenomenon".[6]
National health bodies in some European countries do recognise it as such however,[7] and it is also independently recognised by some health practitioners.[8]
