The duration of therapy for depression varies widely depending on individual factors such as the severity of symptoms, personal goals, and response to treatment. Some people may benefit from short-term therapy lasting a few months, while others may engage in longer-term therapy for several months to a year or more. The goal is to work collaboratively with the therapist to address specific concerns, develop coping strategies, and achieve sustainable improvements in mental well-being. Ultimately, the length of therapy is tailored to the individual's needs and progress throughout the treatment process.
