The International Classification of Diseases Handbook places it in the section "employment" or "unemployment related problems."
According to ICD-11, doctors can diagnose someone with burnout if they have three symptoms: the patient must be exhausted, experiencing mental distance or cynicism about their work and have problems getting the job done successfully.
