Hi, i just found this source that i thought would be interesting to potentially add in your 'endorphins and mental health section' it is a literature review on the relationship of endorphins and mental health. i hope you find it useful :)

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks will be available later via Moodle. Keep an eye on Announcements. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.
Basic, 1-level heading structure - would benefit from further development, including possible 2-level sub-heading development
For example, the headings probably need to be more focused around the target topic e.g., there is no heading such as "How do endorphins affect motivation?" (perhaps with sub-headings) but there are headings around other topics that don't necessarily need to be addressed by this chapter.
In tackling this topic, it could be helpful to consider the kind of motivations that are or aren't fostered by endorphins
Avoid providing too much background/generic material. Instead briefly summarise background concepts and provide wiki links to further information. Then focus most of the content on directly answering the core question posed by the sub-title of chapter.
Key points are developed the suggested sections, but due to the lack of development of the heading structure, there is an overall lack of development of key points
Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles.
Consider including more examples/case studies.
Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

There is too much general theoretical material about emotion. Instead, summarise and link to further information, to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic.
The Reeve (2015) textbook is overused as a citation - instead, utilise primary, peer-reviewed sources.
Did you consult original sources such as Freud (1915)? If not, these should be cited as secondary citations.
Relevant theories are well described and integrated with review of research.
In general, avoid starting sentences with an author name, unless the author is particularly pertinent. Instead, what is of far more interest to the reader, is the content/key point, with the citation included in brackets at the end of the sentence.
Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
Ideally, embed links to other related chapters, such as those about dopmaine and nicotine.
Good use of images.
No use of tables.
Basic use of quizzes.
Basic use of case studies.
APA style
Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10).
Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text. For example, for Figure 4, what is the connection between Crystal Meth Rock and the chapter topic - endorphins and motivation?
Citations
A comma is needed before "&" for citations involving three or more authors.

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Moodle site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.
Because the book chapter topic was changed without consultation, this has resulted is some confusion/mismatch between the book chapter title and the multimedia title.
There is a mismatch between the copyright license stated in the description and the license field in the meta-data.
