I also had a burnout recently. As far as I know there are no different kinds of burnout. A burnout is always caused by long periods of stress exhausting the body. The causes of stress can of course be very different. Working below or above your level can cause stress. But also long periods of physical pain can cause stress. Or being overstimulated all the time. And it can be a sum of all kinds of stress. For example when you struggle in a relationship it is much harder to cope with stress at work. Stress eats your energy. It's also difficult to prevent a burnout yourself because after a long time you can get used to being stressed. You forget how it is to be relaxed. Sometimes it is just not clear what caused a burnout. It just adds up. The best way to prevent a burnout and to recover from it is to accept you are stressed and tired and you need to step back. This is also the most difficult thing to do.
