Am I burned out?
Five questions from a board-certified psychiatrist — burnout, ADHD, masked autism, and depression can hide behind the same symptoms. We route you to the right one.
How long has this been going on?
Pick the closest match. One answer only.
Which of these describe your day-to-day?
Pick all that apply. This is the most important question for routing.
What's getting affected?
Pick all that apply.
Have you been screened or evaluated for any of these before?
Pick all that apply — or "Never" if this is your first look.
What would help most right now?
One answer only. This is what your top-priority routing is based on.
This is the paid-leave funnel.
Your answers point to clinical burnout where the priority is time off, not figuring out what category you fall into. We have a dedicated screener for exactly that — it qualifies you for FMLA, short-term disability, and the paperwork your employer will ask for.
Take the eligibility audit
4 more questions, 90 seconds. We tell you whether your situation qualifies and what documentation you need.
Continue to leave audit →This might be ADHD wearing burnout's clothes.
Trouble focusing, missing deadlines, losing track of things — these are core ADHD symptoms that often present as "burnout" in adults who have been compensating for years. The next step is a clinical screener built for it.
Take the adult ADHD screener (ASRS)
The same WHO-validated screener used in clinic. 6 questions, 2 minutes. Patient and clinician modes both available.
Take the ASRS screener →This might be autistic burnout, not occupational burnout.
The phrase "every social interaction feels like a performance" is the masking-fatigue signature. Adult autism, especially in late-diagnosed AFAB folks and high-achievers, often surfaces as burnout once the masking energy runs out. The AQ-10 screener is built to find this.
Take the adult autism screener (AQ-10)
The validated Cambridge / Baron-Cohen short form. 10 questions. Patient and clinician modes both available.
Take the AQ-10 →Racing or intrusive thoughts deserve their own screener.
Racing thoughts and intrusive thoughts can be anxiety, but they can also be OCD, which is treated differently. The OCI-R screener tells real OCD apart from generalized worry. Worth 90 seconds.
Take the adult OCD screener (OCI-R)
Validated OCI-R short form. Differentiates OCD from anxiety so the treatment plan can match the diagnosis.
Take the OCI-R →This warrants a real evaluation, not another screener.
Anhedonia (things feeling flat or pointless) plus exhaustion is the depression signature, and at that point a free online quiz is not the right next step. Book an intake; we will sort it out properly in the encounter and start treatment if it is warranted.
Book a new patient intake
Our Intake Director, Leann, will call you within 1 business day to confirm eligibility and find a slot.
Request a consultation →This looks like clinical burnout, full stop.
Your answers fit the classic clinical burnout pattern without strong overlap signals for ADHD, autism, OCD, or depression. The right next step is our paid-leave eligibility audit, which qualifies you for FMLA, short-term disability, and the documentation your employer will need.
Take the eligibility audit
4 more questions, 90 seconds. We tell you whether your situation qualifies and what to do next.
Continue to eligibility audit →Is this burnout, or is it something else?
The honest answer is that "burnout" is the symptom, not the diagnosis for a lot of people who end up taking quizzes like this one. The official ICD-10 entry for burnout is Z73.0 — a code that describes occupational exhaustion but is not technically a mental health diagnosis.
Meanwhile, depression (F32, F33), adult ADHD (F90.0, F90.1, F90.2), autism spectrum disorder (F84), and generalized anxiety disorder (F41.1) all produce overlapping clusters of symptoms — exhaustion, fog, anhedonia, social drain, sleep disruption — that a person can credibly call "burnout."
That overlap is why a single online quiz cannot honestly tell you whether you are burned out. A quiz can do one thing well: route you to the right next assessment. That is what this page is built to do.
What actually counts as clinical burnout
The World Health Organization defines burnout as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, with three dimensions: energy depletion, increased mental distance from one's job or feelings of negativism related to it, and reduced professional efficacy.
In its formal definition, the WHO is careful to say burnout refers specifically to occupational context — it is not meant to describe experiences in other areas of life.
In practice, "burnout" gets used much more broadly. That is fine for everyday language. It becomes a problem when someone has been treating their adult ADHD as burnout for five years, or has been masking autism into total exhaustion, or has been calling depression "I am just tired" — because none of those respond to the standard burnout intervention (time off, sleep, stress reduction). They need their own treatment.
The conditions that show up disguised as burnout
In our practice, the five most common patterns that arrive labeled as burnout but turn out to be something different are:
- Adult ADHD presenting as "I cannot focus, I lose track of everything, I miss things at work." Often the person has compensated since school and is now exhausted from compensating. The ASRS screener finds this.
- Autistic burnout presenting as "every interaction feels like a performance, I have to recover for hours after a meeting." This is masking fatigue. The AQ-10 and CAT-Q screeners find it.
- Major depressive disorder presenting as "things I used to enjoy feel flat." Anhedonia is the depression-specific marker, not exhaustion. A clinical encounter is the right next step.
- OCD presenting as "racing thoughts I cannot shut off." If thoughts are intrusive (unwanted, distressing, repetitive), that is OCD territory. The OCI-R differentiates it from generalized anxiety.
- Generalized anxiety disorder presenting as "constant background dread." When anxiety is the engine and exhaustion is the byproduct, the treatment plan looks different from a burnout plan.
Why we route instead of label
We do not give you a single result label at the end of this quiz, and that is on purpose. A board-certified psychiatrist cannot diagnose you from five questions, and any tool that pretends otherwise is selling certainty it cannot deliver.
What we can honestly do is read your answer pattern and tell you the most productive next assessment to take — which, for most people, is one of our validated clinical screeners. Those screeners are the same instruments used in clinical practice, and they will tell you something a generic burnout quiz cannot.
Common questions
If you are reading this, you are not the first person to ask.
What is the difference between burnout and depression?
The clearest distinguishing marker is anhedonia. Burnout is exhaustion plus cynicism plus reduced efficacy, often improving with rest. Depression is exhaustion plus the loss of pleasure in things you used to enjoy — and rest alone does not fix it. If activities that used to feel good now feel flat, that is the depression signal. The two also coexist often; a clinical encounter is how they get sorted.
Can burnout actually be ADHD I did not know I had?
Yes, frequently. Adults with undiagnosed ADHD often spend years compensating — through external structure, coffee, late-night work, anxiety as a focus engine — and eventually the compensation runs out. The exhaustion that follows reads as burnout. If you have always struggled with focus and procrastination, and the "burnout" shows up in your ability to keep track of tasks, take the ASRS screener before assuming this is a workplace problem.
Is "autistic burnout" the same as regular burnout?
No. Autistic burnout is the exhaustion that comes from sustained masking — performing neurotypical social behavior, suppressing stimming, navigating sensory overload — over time. It does not respond to standard burnout interventions because the source is not workload, it is identity-level masking. The AQ-10 screener and the CAT-Q screener find this.
Will my answers be saved or shared?
No. Your answers stay on your device — we save them to your browser's local storage so you can refresh the page without losing progress, and nothing is transmitted to us, an analytics tool, or anyone else. You can clear them anytime by clicking Restart at the end.
Is this a real diagnostic tool?
No, and that is on purpose. This is a triage that decides which validated screener you should take next, or whether you should skip screeners entirely and book an evaluation. The validated screeners we route to (ASRS, AQ-10, OCI-R) are real clinical instruments, but they are still not diagnostic — a diagnosis comes from a clinical encounter. Anything claiming to diagnose you from a quiz is overselling.
What if my answer pattern does not match any of the suggested next steps?
The triage will default to the eligibility audit at /burnout-eligibility/ or to /book-now/ when your pattern is generic burnout without strong overlap signals. If you feel the recommendation does not fit, restart the quiz, or book an intake directly — the encounter is the place where the answer actually gets sorted.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. In-network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare in NY (including Oscar, Optum, Oxford). Cigna and Anthem BCBS are available via our Headway clinicians. We also offer a self-pay tier starting at $200, and HSA / FSA / HRA are eligible for all clinical services. Contact page has the full breakdown.
What if I am out of state?
We provide direct care in New York, Florida, and New Jersey — both in person at our Brooklyn office and via telehealth across all three states. If you live outside those states, we will route you to a vetted colleague in your state through our referral network.
Should I take this quiz or just book an intake?
If you already know what you want — book the intake. The triage is for people who are not sure whether this is burnout, ADHD, autism, OCD, or depression, and who want a defensible next step before paying for a clinical visit.
If your gut says "I just want a doctor to look at me," that is a valid answer to question 5 and the triage will route you straight to intake.
How is this different from the universal "what's going on with me?" quiz?
This quiz is burnout-tuned: same 5-question engine, but the routing weight is on the paid-leave funnel because most visitors who arrive here have already self-identified as burned out. The universal version at /whats-going-on/ doesn't assume what is going on with you and defaults to matching you with a clinician rather than the leave audit. Use whichever fits your starting point — they share the same underlying engine.
This triage is educational and does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. It is not a diagnostic instrument. Clinical care begins only after a completed intake encounter. Curated by Dr. Ahmed Al-Katib, MD · Board-Certified Psychiatrist (ABPN).
