Treatment
The mental health community does not recognize the reluctance to work as a disease or illness and therefore no medical treatment is recognized. Those who seek to treat reluctance to work as illness may use psychotherapy, counseling, medication, or some other more unusual form of treatment.
In cases where the person does not work for a while due to workplace injury, work hardening can be used to build strength. The person works for a short period of time in the first week, like two hours per day and increases the number of jobs each week until the full-time hour is reached.
