Just in case you missed it in the news, earlier this week, the World Health Organization added occupational “burnout” as a medical diagnosis. Within hours nearly every media outlet had released breaking news of this announcement. Hallelujah! You, I, We are not crazy.

Is it possible to avoid burnout? There’s a new conversation starting around that hypothesis.

Just last month the World Health Organization announced the addition of burnout as a recognized medical diagnosis related to employment (or unemployment) however they stop short here. No recommendations on how to avoid / avert or treat.
