Workaholism
Workaholism is a behavioral condition characterized by an excessive preoccupation with work. Individuals who are workaholics often feel compelled to work long hours, neglecting personal relationships and self-care. This obsession can lead to stress, burnout, and various health issues, as the individual prioritizes work over other important aspects of life.
The term "workaholism" combines the words "work" and "alcoholism," suggesting a similar addictive quality. While some people may view workaholics as dedicated or ambitious, the reality is that this behavior can hinder overall well-being and productivity. Recognizing and addressing workaholism is essential for achieving a balanced lifestyle.
