====== Burnout Definition ======

Burnout is a pervasive psychosocial syndrome that manifests as a chronic response to interpersonal stressors encountered in the occupational setting.
----
There has been a lack of a consensual [[definition]] of [[burnout]], and there is substantial overlap in symptomatology with other [[psychiatric disorder]]s, such as [[chronic fatigue]] and [[depression]].
Therefore, the diagnosis is only included in the chapter: “Factors influencing health status or contact with health services” (QD86 burnout) in the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11: World Health Organization 2019) and is not classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association 2013).
