“Some workaholics may be prone to mental health disorders, compared to folks with greater work-life balance, new research suggests. These disorders may include anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression, the study authors said.”

And the researchers said they found that the rate of depression was tripled — 9 percent compared to 3 percent — in the workaholic group.

The study doesn’t provide any answers on this front.”
