Counseling can relieve symptoms of a wide range of mental health conditions. During Counselling, people are taught how to cope with symptoms that don’t improve immediately. Research shows the benefits of Counselling last longer than medication alone. 

Although Counselling teaches people skills to deal with mental health symptoms on their own, medication may reduce some symptoms of certain mental health conditions.

As a result, people can continue to learn these skills after Counselling ends, reducing the possibility of having to seek additional treatment.

A counselor may be able to assist you in reducing the effects of any of the following emotions or feelings. In particular, you should consider getting help if you feel controlled by symptoms or if they pose a risk to you or others.

• Mind-numbing thoughts: Even though it’s normal to worry about things from time to time, therapy can help you manage worry when it’s taking over your life or causing you physical symptoms.
• Lack of hope. When you lose hope or are feeling as if there is no hope, you may be suffering from depression or another mental disorder.

• Resentment: A certain amount of anger is normal for everyone. An occasional fit of rage is unlikely to harm us. You should see a counselor if you experience these feelings frequently, if they seem out of character or if they lead to acting out. violent or potentially harmful actions.
