How Psychotherapy Can Help? Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT has been found to be very effective and the most extensively evaluated therapy for treating mild to moderate depression. In some cases, it can just not be as effective as medication but sometimes can do better than medication in the prevention of recurrence. For more serious depressive illnesses chronic and severe depression therapy along with medication is suggested.
In most cases, people do not understand their situation or hide it, or are unable to express it. Online counselling for depression allows such people to keep their identities anonymous. They can talk anonymously with a depression counsellor available on call, chat and video call any time of the day or night. All they need is an appointment for depression therapy to connect with them over chat, phone or email.
Online depression counselling allows them to choose the time and date as per their convenience and all the information and details are 100% kept private and confidential by the depression counsellors.
