Yeah. This sort of burn-out is definitely the extreme, but it's also the rarest. I think there's a far more common level of burn-out (perhaps "brown-out") which misses a few of the more serious symptoms and yet seriously impacts ongoing productivity and motivation.
The danger of defining burn-out as only this extreme is that there are a lot of people with milder though serious cases who may not appreciate that it's a problem.
