倦怠和抑郁之间的联系仍然不清楚。在这项研究中，我们比较了46名倦怠工人，46名门诊患者经历了严重的抑郁发作，和453名无倦怠工人的抑郁症状，以测试倦怠作为一个临床实体的独特性。倦怠和重度抑郁发作的参与者报告了相似的严重程度的总体抑郁症状。对于精神障碍诊断和统计手册（第4版，文本修订版）。我们的研究结果不支持认为倦怠和抑郁是独立的实体的观点，并质疑倦怠结构的疾病分类附加值。
The link between burnout and depression remains unclear. In this study, we compared depressive symptoms in 46 burned-out workers, 46 outpatients experiencing a major depressive episode, and 453 burnout-free workers to test the distinctiveness of burnout as a clinical entity. Participants with burnout and major depressive episode reported similar, severe levels of overall depressive symptoms. The between-syndrome overlap was further verified for eight of the nine major depressive episode diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., text rev.). Our findings do not support the view hypothesizing that burnout and depression are separate entities and question the nosological added value of the burnout construct.
