Psychotherapy helps : patients identify their dysfunctional responses to stress that harmfully impact their health & daily functioning. Once patients assume responsibility for their roles in perpetuating their problems, therapists offer techniques to change unhealthy thoughts & actions. Some patients with psychiatric disorders are unable to learn & practice healthy techniques long-term without medication management.
