| Sep 23, 2013 at 8:58 | comment | added | coeus | Another possible complex issue arises - if workaholic behaviour is a compulsive behaviour within an OCD diagnosis - there must be an associated obsession causing that behaviour. However, a diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) could also trigger workaholic behaviours. How then do we make the singular diagnosis? Or can OCD and GAD be comorbid and both contribute to workaholic behaviours? Hmm. I'm aware that this is deviating from your original question. | |
| Sep 23, 2013 at 8:55 | comment | added | user3554 | that is an interesting point about the OCD - I would imagine that there would be a definite link, possibly even a phobia-like mechanism involved. | |
