- maxxxxx 7y agoI would hope that maybe people will become more aware of work conditions that lead to burnout. Harassment is not OK anymore, so are a lot of other negative behaviors, maybe people will become aware of the dangers of overworking.

- crehn 7y agoNot sure about burnout, but similar announcements sure do trigger some companies: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190526000118 http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20190526000118
- smudgymcscmudge 7y agoIt’s guidance for diagnosis. Doctors can already diagnose whatever they want. This is just a step toward agreement on what “burnout” means.
- wongarsu 7y ago> This is just a step toward agreement on what “burnout” means Which is really important. Right now it seems to me like we classify many different things with vaguely similar symptoms as burnout.
- dwild 7y agoI'm in Quebec, so it can be different, but when my SO had a burnout, all the doctors we saw said that there was no diagnosis for "burnout" and they had to declare it as a clinical depression. I guess it's different here because the government insurance is involved, but that was an issue for us. Maybe she did have a depression though, it was quite a bit of work just to get a work leave for her, we had to see so many doctors. We didn't push to further afterwards and now that she no longer work at the same place, she is much better.
