Parallel detection of ICD/DSM diagnoses from an expert perspective and subjective perturbation models are considered appropriate. Psychiatric research on the burnout–phenomenon ignores problems of definition resulting from different perspectives: It may meet societal expectations, but does not fulfill scientific criteria, and therefore is not suitable to establish an objective diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of burnout in the ICD-11 is considered to be categorized as a work-related disorder. An expert consensus on the diagnostic criteria and the conceptual location, whether as an independent disorder or as a risk, could not be agreed on. These could not be confirmed empirically. Different development–models of burnout were proposed, assumed to depict a quasi-natural process. Burnout–symptomatology's main characteristic, the experience of exhaustion, is unspecific. Since the first description of burnout in 1974 until today, more than 140 definitions have been suggested. The “burnout” phenomenon, supposedly caused by work related stress, is a challenge for academic psychiatry both conceptually and professionally. 2Munich Business School, München/Munich Business Coaching Institute, München, Germany.1Schön Klinik Roseneck, Prien am Chiemsee, Germany.How real-life diagnosis will work - and what, if anything, can be done when it is - remains to be seen, but admitting you (“you” being American corporate culture) have a problem is the first step toward recovery.Andreas Hillert 1 * Arnd Albrecht 2 Ulrich Voderholzer 1 Hating (or even being very sick of) one’s job and feeling depressed can operate in a feedback loop, and early burnout researchers warned that the difficult inherent to making that distinction might prevent the recognition of burnout as a disease.īut in our increasingly career-as-calling culture, which encourages dedication as the ultimate asset, which calls employees “ family”, which fails to provide them with benefits, and which provides “ unlimited vacation” but expects employees to take less time off than ever, burnout has become an epidemic. The manual notes that before diagnosing someone with burnout, they should rule out other disorders with comparable symptoms, like adjustment disorder, anxiety or depression, and it’s easy to see why - the symptoms listed are likely familiar to anyone who’s experienced even passing depression. The criteria listed for diagnosing burnout are, according to CNN:ġ) Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustionĢ) Increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job Burnout - generally understood as reduced interest and productivity in one’s work precipitated by overwork - can now be classified as a diagnosable condition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which included it in ICD-11, the organization’s diagnostic manual.
