A state of physical and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged occupational stress or a lack of meaning in work, characterized by emotional fatigue, reduced work efficacy, and depersonalization. The condition is closely associated with job satisfaction and flow experience, and is recognized as a distinct syndrome in occupational health contexts.

Burnout was first defined by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974.
The core symptoms of burnout encompass three dimensions: a sense of energy depletion, psychological distance from or negative emotions toward work, and reduced professional efficacy.
Multiple studies show that more than 40% of physicians in the United States report significant burnout symptoms.
The burnout rates among surgeons, emergency physicians, and residents are higher than the average for the physician population.
Surveys by institutions including Stanford University show that burnout rates among programmers are climbing year by year.
In 2019, the World Health Organization officially included burnout in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), defining it as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.
