Has Ding Liren overcame his mental issues? Context: Sagar Shah's interview with Ding Liren.

I just saw Ding's interview with Sagar Shah. He looked much more calm and actually a chill guy. Ding seems happier than ever after he lost his title to Gukesh Dommaraju. He did not seam happy and felt as if he was internally conflicted after winning WCC against nepo in 2022. Is it possible that he felt burdened by his WCC title? Is there a possibility that Ding plays as strong as he used to now that he is not the world champion?
