Therapy: A Double-Edged Sword

The concept of therapy reveals complexities in human experience, suggesting that the reliance on feelings may require reinterpretation. In a society laden with anxiety and depression, the inclination to view mental health issues through the lens of serotonin imbalances could mislead. Therapy stands out as a distinct intervention that can foster positive change and self-determination for those who actively choose it. However, it is crucial to recognize that therapy is not universally beneficial; it may worsen conditions for about 20% of individuals. The increasing number of therapists can facilitate access, but this also raises the standard for practice. Every intervention, including therapy and medication, carries inherent risks and potential side effects, underscoring the importance of careful consideration in mental health treatments.
