For many adults, talking therapies may be as effective as, or even more beneficial than, medication in addressing emotional concerns.
Talking therapies, also known as psychological therapies or talking treatments, are beneficial for individuals facing various emotional challenges. These therapies are designed for anyone experiencing difficult times or struggling with emotional issues that they find difficult to manage independently.
