Reference Assistance
Hi, this is a really good topic as I believe that a lot of people suffer from burnout due to current world situations that are ever changing. With the increase in the cost of living and the people’s yearly wages remaining unchanged but there being an increase in workload, I believe we might see a rise in job burnout in the near future.

I have provided you with a couple of references that I think might be helpful to your topic.

Final chapter suggestion
Hi! This is such a great and important topic since it is such a broad issue in the mordern day world. We're definitely seeing burnout on the rise, but I do think going into why the brain goes into burnout biologically can be an important factor to include, such as talking about brain chemicals like serotonin and norepinephrine, how they play a role in burnot, and why it's important to monitor them. --Teermeej Hossain (discuss • contribs) 15:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

Helpful Resource
Hi, I came across this resource CETC - Secondary Traumatic Stress and Staff Well-being: Understanding compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout in therapeutic care - practice guide - CETC at work today. It states 'The term “burnout” was coined in the 1970s by the American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger. He used it to describe the consequences of severe stress and high ideals in “helping” professions'. It has some references at the end of the document that may be helpful to you. I'm working on compassion fatigue and the two concepts come up together a lot in the literature. U3055143 (discuss • contribs) 08:03, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Context suggestion
Hi, You have a strong foundation of the layout of your chapter and it appears to flow very well. I would suggest including different contexts of burnout as there is 3 main domains, occupational burnout, individual burnout and organisational burnout. --GeorgiaFairweather (discuss • contribs) 09:57, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I have changed some sentence structuring in the section 'what is the difference between burnout and stress' but I thought you could possibly use the bit I have turned into a sort of dialogue example into a case study example. I think this could really make the concept easier to understand, more relatable and impactful. Hope this helps :) - U3222363 --Sophia246 (discuss • contribs) 10:22, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Suggestions for this chapter
Hello, some good work so far, Im looking forward to seeing it fleshed out. I would suggest perhaps giving some specific examples of where burnout is seen in the workforce. I have found a good article that examines burnout specifically in healthcare which may help narrow down the focus. It also provides some good preventative measures to burnout as well. Hope this helps! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7604257/ U3216389 (discuss • contribs) 02:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, great work on the chapter and explaining burnout and clarifying the difference between burnout and stress! I noticed it seems you have explored burnout from a neurotypical perspective. An idea for further exploration and depth for the chapter could involve looking at burnout from mental illness and neurodivergency such as autism. You could look at what causes burnout in these instances and what could be done about it :) - U3222363 --Sophia246 (discuss • contribs) 10:38, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
