Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health specialist.
During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.
There are many types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach. The type of psychotherapy that's right for you depends on your individual situation. Psychotherapy is also known as talk therapy, counselling, psychosocial therapy or, simply, therapy.
