Are you staying up late to finish "important" emails? Do you take work home on the weekends?

A study led by the University of Bergen examined 16,426 working adults and found an association between workaholism and psychiatric problems. The research found that：32.7% of workaholics had ADHD - 33.8 % had anxiety - 25.6 % of workaholics had OCD - 8.9 % had depression. 一項由卑爾根大學領導的研究，檢視1萬6426名在職成年人，發現醉心工作與精神疾病之間有所關聯。該研究發現：32.7%的工作狂患有注意力不足過動症（ADHD）－33.8 %罹患焦慮症－25.6%的工作狂患有強迫症（OCD）－8.9%患有憂鬱症。

"Workaholics scored higher on all the psychiatric symptoms than non-workaholics," said researcher and Clinical Psychologist Specialist Cecilie Schou Andreassen. "Thus, taking work to the extreme may be a sign of psychological or emotional issues." 「比起非工作狂，工作狂在所有精神疾病症狀（的檢測）中獲得高分。」研究團隊成員、臨床心理學專家賽希利．休．安德里森指出。「因此，工作太過極端可能是精神或情緒問題的徵兆。」

The scientists encourage further research in this field, stressing the importance of neurobiological deviations in workaholism . How often do you work overtime? Maybe it’s time to take a break. 科學家鼓勵在此領域作進一步研究，強調神經生物學偏差在醉心工作上的重要性。您有多常加班？也許是該休息一下的時候了。
