A depressed person, for instance, might delay therapy for months or even years, only to give in when his symptoms become so terrible that anything seems preferable to living another day with depression. Because therapy patients often view therapy as a panacea and one which they'll only try when life gets impossible the disappointment you feel when therapy doesn't work can be deep, cutting, and profoundly demoralizing. Mental illness is just like any other health condition. Whether it's difficulty coping with stress or something more serious, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, the first treatment doesn't always work. If you had heart disease, you wouldn't throw up your hands and give up if your first medication didn't yield results, so don't do the same with therapy! If therapy has failed you, you still have plenty of options for feeling better. Stigma can lead to discrimination. Discrimination may be obvious and direct, such as someone making a negative remark about your mental illness or your treatment. Or it may be unintentional or subtle, such as someone avoiding you because the person assumes you could be unstable, violent, or dangerous due to your mental illness. You may even judge yourself. Talk therapy can be an effective way to address and improve symptoms of mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, as well as a way for individuals who haven’t been diagnosed with a mental health condition to explore their feelings more deeply and develop helpful coping skills. Cha Higginson is a Transformation Mentor and Shamanic Healer who does the spiritual stuff without the fluff. Her approach is compassionate but highly effective and challenges what we traditionally believe about trauma relief and healing.
