Abstract
The theoretical analysis of the emotional burnout and depression and an empirical study of their interconnection were carried out in the article. The history of burnout study in psychology, from the time of its appearance and interpretation was briefly followed up. It is revealed that emotional burnout is often understood as a mechanism of psychological protection in the form of reduction of emotional experiences in response to the psycho-traumatic influence or the response of chronic stress when energetic capacities and psychophysical resources of a person are exhausted. It is shown that the structure of burnout, groups of its symptoms and spheres of human life, the mismatch between which and the functioning of human into them increases the probability of his burnout were distinguished in psychology. It is noted that scientists pay special attention to the experience of depression among the symptoms of the process of emotional burnout; the main differences between these phenomena and understanding of the depressive state as a reaction to the psycho-traumatic situation and its manifestations and symptoms in psychology were determined. It was indicated that different situations that sharply violate the course of human life, destroying its life goals, values and meaning, are personally significant can cause reactive depression. It is concluded that the simultaneous manifestation of emotional burnout and depression in a person is not the evidence of a causal relationship between them, but correlation between them exists; that the experience of the emotional burnout and / or depression by person is connected with certain personal characteristics, peculiarities of self-attitude, locus of control and perception of life.
