The symptoms of parental burnout can be assessed using a validated questionnaire: the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA), available in more than 25 languages.

​

Clinical criteria and thresholds have been established to distinguish between parents who are experiencing burnout, those at risk of burnout, and those who are not in burnout.
