Individuals may equate rest with failure, overestimate the consequences of slowing down, and undervalue their own well-being While not yet a clinical disorder, it can lead to burnout, anxiety, sleep deprivation, and a warped sense of priorities Easily mistaken for "ambition" or "discipline" (usually by the person suffering from it)
