A person with a distressed expression is working late at night, surrounded by piles of books and a coffee cup, illustrating the concept of work addiction, also known as workaholism, which is characterized by excessive and obsessive working habits.

What is work addiction?

Work addiction, also known as workaholism, is a compulsive behavioral pattern characterized by excessive and obsessive working habits. While dedication to work is often praised in modern society, work addiction can disrupt one’s life significantly, leading to detrimental consequences in personal, social, and emotional domains.

Signs of workaholism

Distinguishing between a healthy work ethic and work addiction involves recognizing signs of compulsive behavior and loss of control over work-related activities. While diligence and ambition are commendable traits, work addiction manifests as an uncontrollable urge to work excessively, often at the expense of personal relationships and well-being.

How to stop or moderate

Comprehensive approach

Overcoming work addiction requires addressing underlying psychological factors and establishing healthier work-life boundaries. Strategies include setting strict work schedules, prioritizing self-care activities, seeking support from mental health professionals, and practicing stress-management techniques to achieve a more balanced lifestyle.

Detox from work addiction

Detoxing from work addiction involves reducing or eliminating compulsive work behaviors and implementing lifestyle changes to promote well-being.
