According to the WHO, the term burnout refers specifically to the occupational context. It should not be used for other areas of life.
gesund.bund.de describes the typical complaints as possible consequences of stressful occupational or non-occupational activities, for example caring for relatives, and mentions employees and students as well as people who run a household.
Whatever the term, exhaustion outside of work also deserves a medical assessment, because, for example, depression, an anxiety disorder or physical illnesses can cause the same complaints.
