The therapist in return helps you feel better by telling what you should be doing in certain situations and what you should be avoiding. 

Medicines:

In certain cases, the patients have to get the medicine along with the psychotherapy. Sometimes the patient cannot get treated by relying only on the therapies because there are certain issues that cannot be solved by merely talking with the therapists. In such cases, the patients are given medicines and also therapies so that they can recover soon and feel normal again.
