This has many economic and health-related consequences, because burnout is closely tied to an inability to work and significant secondary illnesses. This article provides an umbrella review of therapy approaches for burnout that have already been used and evaluated and shows in which areas there are promising, but still little researched, therapeutic support options for those affected.

The transformation of masculinity orientations and work-related attitudes in men treated for depression (TRANSMODE): study protocol for a mixed-methods observational study.

Background: Masculinity norms play a crucial role in men's help-seeking behaviors, service-use, and coping strategies for depression.
