Facts about therapy

Let’s bust a few myths about mental health therapy 

   1. Therapy is only for the insane.

Although therapy has its origins in the healing of severe psychological issues, that doesn’t mean only people who have lost the mind are in dire need of therapies. It sometimes does not require the presence of a mental disorder.  It's also not an indication of inexperience. It is a sign of resourcefulness. When life seems to be spinning out of control, therapy is something that can help you regain the harmony between mind and heart. 

Therapy is for you, your friends, your employees, your neighbours, it’s for everyone

Nowadays, handling the requirements of your job, family, health, and social circle is a chosen lifestyle. Whether you're a stressed-out parent or an irritable professional, therapy can help control those responsibilities and your life.  Taking control of daily responsibilities will allow you to function at a better level and enjoy the greater joy in life. 

   2. Myth: You'll be in therapy for the rest of your life.

That thought of going to therapy for a long time? It's yet another TV trope. Yes, some people may benefit from continued counselling, particularly if they have had a mental condition for a long time. Many mental health and quality-of-life difficulties, on the other hand, can be resolved in a matter of weeks or months.

Facts, short-term therapy is effective.

One to four sessions can help you make important life transformations. And the advantages go beyond stress and anxiety relief. Short-term therapy can help you strengthen your relationships, brush up on parenting skills, improve your sleep, control your weight, help adopt healthy habits, and achieve your goals more successfully.

3. Psychiatrists Aren't Pill Pushers 

A therapist may suggest prescription medicine as one of several options but the whole therapy doesn’t revolve around pills and prescriptions. The use of medicine is determined by the reason for seeking treatment as well as the severity of the problem. Therapy is frequently sufficient for mild to moderate depression. A combination of medicine and counselling is frequently the most effective treatment for more severe depression or anxiety, as well as some other types of mental health issues. Inquire with your doctor about the benefits and drawbacks of medicine in your specific situation.
