Hi,
Your first concern about being good in science subjects and no so good in social sciences can not be due to any psychological problem but shows your analytical mind and can be a good signs of intelligence. The interests may vary between individuals, and such variations are part and parcel of being human. Other concern for being workoholic or to tire yourself during work shows your dedication or interest in job and that's not bad either. However, if it's interfering with your life and you are unable to be reasonably good in other parts of life, you may need a motivational psychologist or psychiatrist's review and discuss your habits and work on behavior modification rather than treating with medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
