For the first time, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has recognised burn-out as a medical condition. The body has introduced burn-out to its International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a guide which is used worldwide to help diagnose illness.
The annual World Health Assembly concluded in Geneva yesterday. In its meeting, WHO defined burn-out as 'a syndrome conceptualised as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.' This puts an end to years of debate as to whether burn-out should qualify as a medical condition.
But what exactly is burn-out and how can you prevent it? Dr Vanessa Moulton, chartered psychologist at Mindflex, explains:
What is burn-out?
Suffering from excessive stress thanks to a high pressure job or emotional upheaval? Sounds like you might have burn-out.
'Burn-out is a psychological, emotional and physical state that we can find ourselves in when we have been exposed to chronic long term stress,' explains Dr Moulton. 'Exposure to ongoing stressors and our interpretations of them can result in sheer exhaustion and an inability to continue as we have been.'
