Anxiety vs. Burnout: How to Tell the Difference (And Get the Right Treatment)

Do you feel tired, tense, and unable to recharge—even when you rest?
You might chalk it up to burnout from work or parenting, but the truth is: it could very well be anxiety—or sometimes both.

Too many professionals and caregivers push through their symptoms, pushing harder instead of getting answers. The missing link? The correct diagnosis.

At Lumina Wellness, we help you untangle burnout from anxiety so you can get the right care—fast. Our evaluations are thoughtful, precise, and entirely covered by insurance.

Why Anxiety and Burnout Get Confused

  • Both can impact energy, focus, and mood.

  • Burnout typically improves with rest; anxiety often doesn’t.

  • Many people have overlapping symptoms without realizing it.

5 Ways to Tell Which You’re Facing

  1. Rest Doesn’t Help – Burnout improves after time off; anxiety persists.

  2. Physical Symptoms – Anxiety often includes heart racing, tension, restlessness.

  3. Thought Patterns – Anxiety triggers repetitive worry. Burnout often feels numb or detached.

  4. Sleep Issues – Anxiety keeps your mind racing; burnout just leaves you exhausted.

  5. Context Matters – Burnout is linked to specific stressors. Anxiety shows up regardless.
