What is burnout?

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies burnout as: 

"A syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed." 

Although not a medical condition, it is recognised as a syndrome with a health related cause, and WHO has even called it an 'occupational phenomenon'. 

Burnout can manifest in 3 key areas of day-to-day life: 

1. Physical: Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion 

2. Emotional: Increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job 

3. Behavioural: Reduced professional efficacy
