Emotional and mental disorders, as well as the pain they cause, cannot be treated solely through medication. Medications are used to alleviate symptoms. However, it does not address the underlying problem. Therapists in mental health do not prescribe or administer medicines. Psychotherapy can assist you in identifying and treating the source of your emotional issues. However, it will not address your problems immediately. An integrated approach to health can sometimes help you achieve a stronger feeling of well-being. You can figure out what's best for you by working with your licensed therapist and qualified health professionals. A combination of medicine and treatment may be the best line of action in some circumstances - at least in the near run. However, psychotherapy will very certainly be required for a longer period of time.
