IS PSYCHOTHERAPY, HELPFUL IN TREATING ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION?
Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for anxiety and depression. There are a number of psychotherapies suitable for its treatment, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) which focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety. Psychotherapy and individual therapy are also used to treat depression and anxiety. The type of treatment that works best for an individual will depend on the specific symptoms and causes of anxiety and depression. A mental health professional can help determine the best treatment path.
