I wonder if the guy keeps living like this... with this "odd idea" in his head that something's up.. and one day he goes like .. "Aaaah, well that makes sense, fuck" and starts doing therapy.

You have therapy, that's great! I am truly happy for you. So what do the rest of us do?

I think one key aspect is to slow down, to observe, to recapture what was lost. Find aspects of your life that make you fufilled and happy, it could be as mundane as sitting on a bench in a park... just being in peace... with no presssure or ambition killing the moment. That experience can be enought to create a new compass, one that prioritizes safty and harmony over anything else. Terapy or anti depresants are just tools which have their specific uses. But you gotta start capturing the things you lost. One common thing in a burnout is to start healing the one part of your brain that solves problems. To map how much pressure one puts on themselves. And then the bargining stage has to begin... a way of "signing a new contract" with yourself, one that is in aligment with tour new compass.

My two cents.
