Background: Whether burnout is a distinct phenomenon rather than a type of depression. As many as two thirds of people with depression do not realize that they have a treatable illness and therefore do not seek professional help.The presenting complaints often can be somatic, such as fatigue, headache, abdominal distress, or sleep problems. The common feature of the depressive disorders is the presence of sad, empty, or irritable mood. Burnout is an experience of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, caused by long-term involvement in situations that are emotionally demanding. It is loss of ability or interest to do something. We try to investigate depression and burnout overlap and the persistence of three compensate. What has led to us research, that is there an overlap between burnout and depression.
