This work seeks to discuss the issue of teacher illness in light of the definition of medicalization of life proposed by Conrad (1992, 2007). For the author, this is a process in which everyday instances of life come to be claimed by the discourse of medicine, generally adopting diagnostic terms. Burnout syndrome is used as the conceptual operator due to the emergence of studies that associate this syndrome with the educational context. In the bibliographic review the researches on the topic of medicalization and Burnout Syndrome in the teaching category are highlighted. There is no consensus in the literature regarding the concept of medicalization, so that Conrad's perspective is privileged to highlight the sociocultural role. The context of the teaching sickness is problematized through works that discuss the historical changes occurred in the Brazilian educational scene, besides addressing the social and political influences on the work. Particular emphasis is given to the issue of neoliberalism and how it has contributed to new forms of relationship in the world of work. From the foucaultian perspective, the manifestation of Burnout is analyzed with the constituency of the teacher in the network of power relations, contextualizing its environment, marked by the social, political, economic and historical events of contemporary western society. Finally, the phenomenon of teaching sickness is taken as an analyzer of the present modes of subjectivation, praising the possibility of this being taken as resistance.
