Psychotherapy utilizes psychological methods that can help overcome problems and increase happiness. Similar to counseling, psychotherapy can improve the symptoms of mental health disorders. Whether used as the sole treatment or in conjunction with pharmacological treatments, psychotherapy can address anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and more.
As a practice specializing in mental health services in DC, we will discuss the mental health disorders that psychotherapy can address:
- Anxiety
Unlike the occasional stress or worry that everyone experiences, clinical anxiety is an ongoing symptom that causes individuals to be on edge most of the time. People with anxiety may struggle to manage their emotions and become self-conscious or avoidant. Psychotherapy can help individuals with anxiety regain their compass in life and can aid in stress management. - Depression
Depression is more than just a temporary setback or a period of sadness. This mental health disorder can affect one’s overall health and quality of life. Depression can result in problems with appetite changes, low energy, relationships, and more. With psychotherapy, individuals with depression have a comfortable, private setting to heal and receive support. - Obsessions or Compulsions
Obsessions are characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts that are typically fixated on a particular topic. Meanwhile, compulsions are repetitive, irrational behaviors that individuals feel they must perform to relieve the stress caused by their obsessions. Psychotherapy can help by objectively examining their behaviors to break free from negative thought patterns and the cycle of their distress.
