English term or phrase: workaholic
I understand the people who are addicted to work and cannot bear inactivity. For a workaholic, work is an escape from sadness, or fear, or frustration, or other discomforting feelings.

Gentilissimi traduttori,
Sto scrivendo una lettera alla mia cara amica Francesca. Vorrei scriverle il mio suddetto parere. Come rendere in italiano il concetto di "workaholic"?

Grazie in anticipo.

Grazie a tutti. Ho scelto "dipendente dal lavoro" perché questa espressione è scritta in 82 siti italiani. Alcuni siti spiegano che "viene anche chiamato workaholic".
