Anxiety engendered by the workplace leads to an inability to work and earn one's living. The term workplace phobia is applied when anxiety leads to avoidance of the workplace. As in the case of school phobia, a range of differential diagnoses may be involved, requiring careful clarification. Such may include post-traumatic stress disease, posttraumatic embitterment, social phobia, personality disorders, depression and organic brain disease. The treatment of workplace-related phobia differs from that of other phobias because of the peculiarities of the workplace. Simply giving the patient sick leave may do more harm than good, and as such needs to be carefully weighed up.
工作场所引发的焦虑会导致无法工作和谋生。当焦虑导致回避工作场所时,就会出现“工作场所恐惧症”这一术语。与学校恐惧症的情况一样,可能涉及一系列鉴别诊断,需要仔细甄别。这可能包括创伤后应激障碍、创伤后痛苦、社交恐惧症、人格障碍、抑郁症和器质性脑疾病。由于工作场所的特殊性,与工作场所相关的恐惧症的治疗与其他恐惧症不同。仅仅给患者开病假条可能弊大于利,因此需要仔细权衡。
