The Benefits of Therapy

-

What is Therapy?

Therapy is a source of support for a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Attending therapy sessions can help control troubling symptoms, so a person can achieve an overall higher quality of life and well-being. Focuses of therapy can include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impacts of trauma (medical illness or loss of a loved one), and specific mental disorders including anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. 


Therapy can be beneficial for children and adults. Sessions can be conducted in an individual, couple, family, or group setting. The trust between the patient and therapist is essential in order for the treatment to be beneficial for the patient. Therapy can be short-term or long-term depending on the severity of the patient’s symptoms or the complexity of the situation. 



Does Therapy Work?

Research has shown that most people who attend therapy sessions experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their daily lives. Clients receiving therapy treatment are 79% better off than those who do not seek treatment. Therapy has been shown to improve behavior and emotions that are linked to positively affect both the brain and body. Examples of positive impacts can include: fewer sick days, increased energy levels, fewer medical problems, better communication skills and increased satisfaction with work. 


The benefits of therapy are endless! The benefits of therapy include many improvements in different areas of your daily life. These improvements can include: better coping skills, building stronger relationships, gain in your self-confidence, reaching your goals, enhancing your problem-solving skills, and feeling stronger in the face of challenges. Sometimes talking to someone who isn’t biased and can provide an outside perspective, can bring things into a different light or make you think about a situation more clearly.

Each year on November 11, we honor the service and sacrifice of those who have served in our armed forces. Now called Veterans Day in the United States, the day was originally called Armistice Day and marked the official end of the hostilities of World War I. Armistice Day is still recognized across the world in countries that remember the anniversary of the end of World War I. Many of those who have served in our armed forces have been affected by their service – some in obvious ways, and others in ways that are not readily apparent. The unique and challenging lives led by our military service members can lead to a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injury. Some veterans may be suffering from one or more of these conditions at the same time. Here are some ways that you can support veterans in your life who may be dealing with these challenges.

  NeuroStar TMS Therapy  NeuroStar therapy uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to address key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with several mental health ailments, but more specifically for those with depression. The exact cause of depression remains unknown but is believed to be caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.  What is NeuroStar Therapy (TMS)?  The magnet has similar strength levels to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. It is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain that is responsible for controlling mood and behavior. The magnetic pulses can potentially provide a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, creating the possibility of long-term remission for depression.  What You Can Expect During a NeuroStar Therapy Treatment NeuroStar therapy is a non-invasive treatment and non-drug treatment. The patient experiences little
