    Psychotherapy

    Psychotherapy is an approach for treating mental health issues by talking with a psychologist, psychiatrist or another mental health provider. It also is known as talk therapy, counseling, psychosocial therapy or, simply, therapy.

    During psychotherapy, you learn about your specific issues and how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors affect your moods. Talk therapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

    There are many types of psychotherapy. The type that’s right for you depends on your situation.

    Why it's done

    Psychotherapy can help treat most mental health issues, including:

    • Anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, panic disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
    • Mood disorders, such as depression or bipolar disorder.
    • Addictions, such as alcohol use disorder, drug dependence or compulsive gambling.
    • Eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia.
    • Personality disorders, such as borderline
    • personality disorder or dependent personality disorder.
    • Schizophrenia or other disorders that cause detachment from reality.

    Not everyone who benefits from psychotherapy is diagnosed with a mental illness. Psychotherapy can help with the stresses and conflicts of life that can affect anyone.

    For example, psychotherapy may help you:

     

    • Resolve conflicts with your partner or someone else in your life.
    • Relieve anxiety or stress due to work or other situations.
    • Cope with major life changes, such as divorce, the death of a loved one or the loss of a job.
    • Learn to manage unhealthy reactions, such as road rage or other aggressive behavior.
    • Come to terms with an ongoing or serious health issue, such as diabetes, cancer or long-term pain.
    • Recover from physical or sexual abuse or witnessing violence.
    • Cope with sexual problems, whether they’re due to a physical or psychological cause.
    • Sleep better if you have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep.

    In some cases, psychotherapy can be as effective as medicines, such as antidepressants. But depending on your situation, talk therapy alone may not be enough to ease the symptoms of a mental health condition. You also may need medicines or other treatments.
