Benefits of Depression Counseling & Psychotherapy
Simply put, depression is anger turned inwards. People who struggle with depression usually internalize negative comments by their family, society, friends, etc. and accept them as definitive and completely true. Depression therapy reevaluates faulty thoughts and belief system. Once one becomes aware of the origin of negative self talk they are able to expel it much faster.
