What burnout actually is

Stop 1/5

倦怠到底是什么

In 2019 the World Health Organization wrote 'burn-out' into ICD-11, defining it explicitly as an 'occupational phenomenon' — arising from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed — and not as a medical condition. That definition matters: it acknowledges burnout is real without medicalizing it into a 'disease'.

The classic Maslach model breaks burnout into three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (energy hits empty), cynicism / depersonalization (becoming detached and cold toward work and the people it serves), and reduced efficacy (feeling you can't do anything well). It is the three together that constitute burnout — not just 'a tiring week'.

Note its boundary: burnout specifically refers to the work context. It shouldn't be slapped onto every corner of life.
