The aim of this research was to examine the prevalence and comorbidity between burnout syndrome, depressive and anxiety, whether manifest themselves separately from each other or are so closely intertwined as to reflect the same phenomenon. A cross-sectional study involving 459 (61 por ciento female) Mexican schoolteachers was conducted. Burnout syndrome was assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators. Depression and anxiety was assessed with the Inventories Beck Depression and Anxiety. Prevalence rates of burnout (20.8 por ciento), depression (10.6 por ciento) and anxiety (30.9 por ciento) are high. Comorbidity among them is 19.7 por ciento. Teachers with increasing burnout experienced increases in depression or anxiety. In addition, emotional exhaustion was significantly associated with anxiety and depression than with depersonalization or personal accomplishment. Our results are consistent with findings showing qualitative and quantitative symptom overlap of exhaustion, depression and anxiety.
