Is Workaholism a mental health issue?

Taking an alternative approach to mental health led to Lilia Bogoeva being known as the Inner Demon Crusher.

Lilia advocates for a more constructive approach to mental health that goes beyond the diagnosis of a problem and focuses on understanding how someone functions.

In this episode of the Abeceder work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation, Lilia and host Michael Millward discuss her positive approach, including how

• Receiving a diagnosis can provide as an excuse to do something or not do other things.
• Activity can be good for managing mental health, but people with an existing condition can select negative activities. This can often be work.
• Workaholism can be a signpost of undiagnosed mental health conditions
• How a balanced approach to every aspect of life can be a better solution

Lilia explains the wide range of artistic and sporting activities that she is involved in. Lilia describes how she selected these activities.

Lilia is also explains what each activity has taught her about herself and improved her ability to manage when things don’t go as well as she had hoped.
