Psychotherapy and its advances
Psychotherapy, also known as psychoanalysis or psychodynamic therapy, aims to facilitate change in individuals by addressing problematic behaviors, thoughts, and emotions through exploring their consciousness. Among various psychotherapeutic approaches, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy is extensively studied, widely understood, and commonly practiced. Approximately 12% of adults receive mental health care, with 10.4% using medication and 3% attending counseling or therapy. It's important to note that some individuals (1.3%) receive both medication and psychological therapy, leading to overlapping numbers.
