What is workholic?

A workaholic is a person who is addicted to work and spends excessive amounts of time and energy at work, often at the expense of their personal life, health, and relationships. Workaholics may feel a constant need to be productive and may struggle to relax or take time off from work.

Workaholism can have negative effects on an individual's mental and physical health, including increased stress, fatigue, and burnout. It can also strain personal relationships and lead to a lack of work-life balance.

Treatment for workaholism may involve identifying the underlying reasons for the addiction, such as a need for validation, perfectionism, or fear of failure. Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices may also be helpful in overcoming workaholism.
