Mental Health Conditions
Anxiety
Anxiety is characterized by persistent worry, fear, or nervousness that can interfere with work, relationships, and overall well-being. It often affects high-achievers by amplifying stress and making it harder to focus on goals.
Depression
Depression involves feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities. It can disrupt your energy, motivation, and productivity, making even routine tasks feel overwhelming.
OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is marked by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can consume time and mental energy. It may hinder high-achievers' ability to focus and function effectively.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) occurs after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms like flashbacks, avoidance, and hyperarousal can disrupt personal and professional life.
Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, impact your ability to fall or stay asleep, leading to fatigue and reduced performance. Poor sleep can take a toll on both mental and physical health over time, leading to increased burnout.
Alcohol Problems
Alcohol problems range from frequent misuse to dependency, often serving as a coping mechanism for stress or emotional pain. Over time, they can interfere with health, relationships, and professional success.
