Despite previous reports, the WHO is not classifying the problem as a ‘disease’ or medical condition. WHO calls burnout an “occupational phenomenon”.
Torsten Voigt, a sociologist at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, who published a review of existing studies on burnout in 2017, says that the new definition give people who suffer burnout more legitimacy.
