You are correct, by saying as an illness it means working too much is a kind of illness, if you said "like" the meaning would change to being similar to an illness but not an illness itself. So it really depends on which idea you want to convey to your audience.

These 3 options are OK:
"considered an illness",
"considered to be an illness"
"considered as an illness"
Not "like"
I would choose the second or third options, personally.
