Work phobia is an illness!

London: A new study has found that work phobia is not related to laziness, rather it is an illness requiring careful treatment.

The researchers said that fear of the workplace and the accompanying problems are not merely a fabrication of the neurotic mind, it is a separate condition altogether that doctors must be dealing with. The team suggests that work-related phobia is an anxiety disorder, but it is different as it can arise in people who do not experience general anxiety disorders.

Professor Michael Linden, a clinical psychologist in Berlin who led the research, estimated that one in every two workers on long-term sick leave would be exhibiting symptoms of work-related anxiety. "Like other forms of anxiety, job-anxieties can present in the form of panic, hypochondriac fears, work-related worrying, post-traumatic stress, or work-related social anxieties," the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.

"Anxiety can lead to avoidance. Job anxiety can therefore be one explanation for sick leave, work absenteeism, or early retirement. Job-anxieties, therefore, must be considered as expensive problems," he added.
