Occupational Anxiety Syndrome

Office anxiety, or workplace anxiety, refers to feeling intense worry, unease or apprehension about being at work. Workplace anxiety differs from general anxiety because it's specifically related to a job, in or out of the office. Some causes of workplace anxiety could be pandemic-related, causing distress over the social interaction of being back in the office.
