Used for the boundary that burnout is framed here as an occupational phenomenon, not a medical diagnosis.
Source method
Source Methodology
CareerWell uses public workplace-stress, burnout, occupational-health boundary, self-reflection, and editorial quality references to keep burnout paths useful without pretending to know a reader's private employment, health, legal, workplace, or recovery outcome.
Sources support observable work patterns, score-band language, low-risk self-reflection prompts, safe next-step boundaries, and careful wording. They do not guarantee recovery, promotion, retention, leave, support, or workplace outcomes.
Google helpful content guidance is used only as an editorial quality guardrail. It is not evidence for medical, psychological, legal, HR, benefits, financial, or workplace-outcome claims.

Used for healthy workplace, support, workload, and psychological safety context.
Used for bounded mindfulness language: stress self-management, not a promise to fix work conditions.
Used for low-risk movement context while avoiding personalized fitness or treatment plans.
Used only as an editorial quality guardrail for usefulness, not as evidence for health or employment claims.

Review rule
How source-backed claims are limited
- Score-band pages explain work-stress patterns as reading paths, not clinical labels.
- Symptom and cause pages describe observable work scenes without diagnosing medical or psychological conditions.
- Recovery and mind-body pages keep practices low-risk and bounded; they do not promise to fix a broken work system.
- Workplace-action pages prepare language and work facts; they do not provide legal, HR, benefits, or employment-rights advice.
- Career-choice pages separate burnout notes from quit, stay, search, and transition questions without deciding for the reader.
What the sources do not support
CareerWell does not promise recovery, job protection, leave outcomes, legal outcomes, HR outcomes, benefits outcomes, medical outcomes, mental-health treatment, or workplace-rights results. High-stakes decisions should use qualified local support.
