Natalia Andoh Talks Addiction And Dependency
Natalia Andoh
Natalia Andoh, a renowned counselor and psychologist, graced the stage of 3 Music TV's Big Conversation on a vibrant Monday morning. The Culture Squad had the privilege of delving into a profound discussion with her, exploring the intricate relationship between the creative industry and mental health. One particular topic that drew attention was the issue of addiction and dependency, especially concerning so-called functioning addicts.

Andoh made a compelling statement, challenging the notion of functioning addicts. She emphasized that there is no such category, asserting that individuals may appear to balance their professional and personal lives despite their addictions, but they have not yet reached critical stages of dependency. She stressed the importance of acknowledging the fine line between maintaining balance and succumbing to addiction.

In her insightful response, Andoh shed light on the potential dangers of dependency on habits or coping mechanisms. She highlighted the risk of developing a high tolerance, subsequently escalating dependency and exacerbating the addiction. As a solution, she offered valuable advice: instead of relying on coping mechanisms, it is more beneficial to identify the root causes of the need to cope and confront them directly. By doing so, individuals can work towards realistic solutions, significantly reducing the likelihood of falling into the clutches of addiction.

Natalia Andoh's expertise and guidance on mental health in the creative industry bring a fresh perspective, encouraging proactive and realistic approaches to address challenges. Her appearance on 3 Music TV's Big Conversation not only sparks essential conversations but also paves the way for a healthier and more aware creative community.
