Burnout syndrome in Brazil (2014–2024): regional variations and temporal trends in an epidemiological study

Most reported cases were women (71.6%), aged 35 to 49 years (56.7%). The Southeast (52.8%) and Northeast (29.8%) regions concentrated most notifications. The year 2024 had the highest notification rate (28.4%; p = 0.008). Psychotropic drug use was identified in 51.7% of cases, while alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use accounted for less than 8%, without statistical significance. Conclusions: The syndrome showed a 96.4% increase over the analyzed period, predominantly affecting women in the Southeast region. This rise may be related to increased diagnostic awareness, professional training, and mental health awareness strategies.
