What is therapy and what are the benefits?
Therapy is a form of treatment for disorders, which in turn are defined as conditions that disrupt social and/or personal functioning. The exact definition of therapy varies depending on who you ask, but they all have one thing in common: the purpose of therapy is to alter some element(s) about yourself or your life that will result in improvement.
So what are the benefits of therapy? There is a vast array of different treatments for various conditions, and some have greater effectiveness than others. This depends on the treatment itself as well as who provides it to you.
If you are lucky enough to have a treatment plan that works for you, the benefits can be absolutely life changing. There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to therapy, so what might work for somebody else may not work at all for you.
But in general, therapy provides an outlet for those who need support to deal with life's challenges. You can work through your feelings and emotions with a trained professional without feeling alone.
That's about it. Hopefully this was helpful.
