Who invents such a thing?

I am not a therapist, but I know a lot about depression and burnout, not out of a book, but out of experience.

I have lost women and jobs, took quite a bit of acohol.

In short I was on the way to the madhouse.

What I learned thanks to the Buddhas is, not to follow with my thougths when depression or tiredness is surfacing, but to to stay separete from it, to observe it, taking care to avoid negatifity, in other words, I am able to laugh, even if there is strong inner pain.

Now you know that I am able to sense where you come from.
