Anxiety vs Burnout: Key Differences and How to Tell Which One You Have

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

Anxiety and burnout share symptoms but have different origins and different treatment implications. Anxiety is characterised by a threat-detection system running too sensitively, producing fear and avoidance. Burnout is characterised by depletion from sustained demands exceeding available resources. The clinical signal that most reliably distinguishes the two is the direction of the energy.
