Based on many studies and research, Workaholism has been diagnosed as an actual disorder. Workaholism creates addicting and compulsive behaviors expressed through physical, biological, psychological, and social actions. They are more focused on working and keeping their than recognition or rising higher than others in their organization. Loyal and hard working people want a sense of security in their job by creating goals, staying successful and having more determination than most workers would. Overworking can lead to exhaustion, sleep problems, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, and even death. Not only can a workaholics life affect the body physically and emotionally, it can affect people around them socially. This creates a lack of boundaries between work and their involvement in family life, marital status, children at home, friends, romantic life, and coworkers. Counseling, medicine, and time away from work can help reduce workaholism.
