“…Several studies indicate that the cluster of symptoms represented by burnout and depression are highly correlated, with the risk of depression increasing with severity of burnout (Ahola et al., ; Ahola et al., ; Bianchi, Boffy, Hingray, Truchot, & Laurent, ). However, burnout and depression may be distinguishable by the predominant symptoms that characterize them (Bakusic, Schaufeli, Claes, & Godderis, ; Kakiashvili, Leszek, & Rutkowski, ; Orosz et al., ), and by their respective associations with life stressors (Nyklicek, & Pop, ; Plieger, Melchers, Montag, Meermann, & Reuter, ).
