Talk:Occupational burnout

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article discusses a topic that I have always been quite interested in called burnout. Burnout is a phenomenon where one becomes less interested or invested in an occupation that they were once passionate about, and the occupation instead becomes a main source of stress in the person’s life. Burnout in relation to sports is what is most interesting to me, so I hope to add information about this subgroup to the article on occupational burnout. I feel that this is a very prominent subgroup of burnout that definitely needs more awareness on a larger scale. With some research, I hope to be able to display the facts about this phenomenon in a way that is readily available and understandable for anyone who may be interested.

Evaluate the article
Although this article is graded “start-class” I think it provides immense in-depth information about burnout as well as its history, diagnosis, effects, treatments. Where I feel that this article is lacking is in its details of the subgroups of burnout. It only details Farber’s categories, caregiver burnout, and teacher burnout and doesn’t provide very sufficient information on any of these subgroups. I feel that more subgroups should be added, particularly sports, and more depth should be lended to these subgroups. Only one image is utilized in this article, but adding more may prove difficult as this topic doesn’t have many visual representations. The image comes at the start of the article and seems to aim to display the visual effects of burnout, but this condition is not one that always present in a visual way. I could try to look for more high quality images, but as of now I’m more concerned about adding to the content. The talk page of this article seems relatively abandoned as it hasn’t been utilized since 2020, but I hope that there may still be some silent viewers who I can work with once I get started on my editing. Overall, this article seems to be off to a great start with plenty of interesting content displayed in an unbiased, factual way. However, I look forward to adding more depth into areas of the article, particularly the subgroups section.
