Does it Really Exist? – Maybe Not!
According to the World Health Organization, occupational burnout is a syndrome linked to long-term, unresolved, work-related stress.
Since May 2019, the WHO stipulated that burnout must be understood as being specifically work-related; and result in symptoms such as “feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job; and reduced professional efficacy.”

While burnout influences health and may be a reason for people contacting health services, it is not itself classified by the WHO as a valid medical condition.
QUERY: So, what about physician “burnout”? Real -OR- perceived?

BURNOUT
The psychologist Christina Maslach, a foundational figure in burnout research—the Maslach Burnout Inventory is the standard burnout assessment—sees burnout as having three components: exhaustion; cynicism or depersonalization (detectable in doctors, for example, who see their patients as “problems” to be solved, rather than people to be treated); and a sense of ineffectiveness or futility. Exhaustion is easy to brag about, inefficacy less so. Accounts of the desperate worker as labor-hero ignore the important fact that burnout impairs your ability to do your job. A “precise diagnostic checklist” for burnout, Malesic writes, would curtail loose claims of fashionable exhaustion, while helping people who suffer from burnout seek medical treatment.
