GENEVA - The World Health Organization said Tuesday that "burnout" remains an "occupational phenomenon" that could lead someone to seek care but it is not considered a medical condition.

The World Health Assembly, WHO's main annual meeting which wraps up on Tuesday, approved at the weekend the latest catalog of diseases and injuries, collectively known as the ICD-11. It said the syndrome was characterized by: "1) feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; 2) increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and 3) reduced professional efficacy."

The updated ICD list was drafted last year following recommendations from health experts around the world.
