• Prioritisation of achievements and project growth over one's health

• Impaired sleep and overwork leads to depression

• Physical ailments might arise later in life

Pressure to succeed at a young age

• Not everyone's timeline of achievement is the same

• Leads to low self-esteem and depression

• Feelings of guilt that you're not doing enough

• Addictive need to succeed and be task-oriented

• Unable to adapt to adversity

• Unhealthy comparison to others
