Medication is an essential component of mental health care for many individuals. It can help alleviate symptoms, improve functioning, and enhance overall well-being. While therapy and other non-pharmacological interventions play a significant role in treatment, there are instances where medication is necessary to achieve the desired outcomes. Mental health conditions can arise from complex interactions between genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. Medication can target these.

Types of mental health disorders

Therapy that involves talking, or psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can help treat challenges and symptoms relating to mental health and emotions. Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy aims to help a person understand their feelings and equip them to face new challenges, both in the present and the future. Psychotherapy is similar to counseling, and the two can overlap. However, the former tends to look more deeply, addressing the underlying causes of a person’s problems as well as how to solve them. To see positive results, a person will usually need to understand the need for change and be willing to follow the treatment plan as the specialist advises. They will also need to find a suitable therapist they can trust.
