A new study finds that workaholism is statistically linked with anxiety, depression, O-C-D, and A-D-H-D. The researchers found that 7.8 percent of the nearly 16,500 adults they studied were workaholics. Researcher Cecilie Andreassen notes in a press release, “Workaholics scored highers on all psychiatric symptoms than non-workaholics.” The data showed that 32.7 percent of workaholics had ADHD, versus 13 percent of non-workaholics. Additionally, 26 percent of workaholics had OCD versus 9 percent of non-workaholics; 34 percent had anxiety versus 12 percent of non-workaholics; and nine percent had depression compared to three percent of non-workaholics. Workaholics were determined to be those who agreed with statements such as “You become stressed if you are prohibited from working.”
