Yes you could summarize them as having almost opposite effects.

Depression - it's hopeless, there's nothing I can do..

Burnout - it's hopeless, but there's so much I can do, let me burn myself out trying to do all of it at once, even though it won't move the needle more than 1%. Almost like "Sunday scaries" but all the time or months nonstop. Just a constant mid-level anxiety & panic.
