Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the insured had an invalidating health impairment entitling him to disability insurance benefits.
Decisione estratta
No invalidating health impairment was established because the depressive symptoms were shaped by psychosocial stressors and the claimed burn-out itself is not a legally relevant health impairment.
Motivazione estratta
Burn-out is not an illness within the recognized diagnostic systems. The psychiatrist's findings showed that the depressive picture and its chronicity were largely explained by economic and psychosocial burdens, without sufficient independent pathological findings of disease value.
