Summary/Abstract: The article presents the relationships between the pressure on school and academic achieve-ments felt by pupils and students with the development of study addiction, work addiction and the progression of other mental disorders and phenomena from the area of psycho-pathology (such as suicide). The current state of knowledge on work addiction and study addiction was analyzed, and the similarities and differences between engagement in an activity (work or study) and addiction to this activity were discussed. In particular, the theoretical and practical importance of the conceptualization of the problems of the deteriorating mental health of the young generation in terms of addiction to work and study, as well as their relation to the obsession with socioeconomic success was presented.
