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.

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.
