Did therapy actually help anybody’s aniexity/ mental disorder ?

Question

Some people say that they’re therapists didn’t help but are there any success stories?

Answer

Yes it helped. You have to do the work though, outside of the office too. It's not a quick fix or an easy fix. However, it is necessary if you want to get better.

Answer

Me personally? No. I was in therapy for 5+ years and it did nothing. I was in therapy for chronic depression and chronic anxiety. I still suffer from it but I manage... I highly suggest trying to see someone though. Therapy just wasn’t for me though.

Answer

it helped me. I also saw 3 different therapists before I found the one that worked best for me. I used to be on a twice a day medication, along with another to take when a panic attacks was coming on. I stuck with the therapy, and was able to go off my medication after a year. I have been off of it for 3 years now. I used to have daily panic attacks, but in the last 3 years have only had about 5 that were bad. I still deal with anxiety daily because it's not going to "cure" it.. but I definitely learned a lot through therapy and a lot of helpful techniques to utilize. I do agree with the other person that mentioned it does take work at home too.

Answer

Therapy has definitely been a huge help for me. I have to take anxiety medicine for my OCD (OCD generally can’t be treated through therapy alone) but before that got bad I was just seeing a therapist and doing so much better anxiety/depression wise.

Answer

100% therapy has helped and completely changed the path of my life.  Incredibly thankful for the wisdom, support and guidance of my therapist.

Answer

100% it saved my life.

Answer

Not for me. I struggle with really bad anxiety and panic attacks, also I used to have depression.
Medication helped the anxiety a bit, no medication helped with my depression. I went to a counselor for a while and she helped but that was mainly because I felt lonely and wanted someone to talk to- 
What really helped me was mediation, yoga, breathing exercises and making the most out of small things. Once I did that, things really started falling into place for me

Answer

Some people are helped by therapy but i really think its the therapist they connected with. So try therapy and if it doesnt work switch your therapist!

Answer

yup. but it was the intense therapy that helped. i have severe OCD and generalized anxiety disorder which turned into suicidal thoughts / urges because of the stress i was under. i ended up being hospitalized for 3 months and then sent to residential for 10. i now attend a therapeutic school. therapy only helps if you’re willing to change, take responsibility, and put the work in. also, it’s like sex: if you don’t please yourself during the process it’s pointless. make it fun, get a connection with your counselor and make the best of it!

Answer

Yes!! A million times yes! I was I. The army for 5 years and got diagnosed with severe PTSD, depression and anxiety, it took me awhile to find a counselor that I could be comfortable with but when I did she helped me SO much! I’ve been out of the military for a year now and I would be lost without her
