Health / Mental Illness by OfficialCribMD: 3:09pm On Feb 06, 2022
Whether or not mental illness has a cure is debatable, depending on how you perceive it. But one thing is sure when it comes to mental illness – there is a recovery process.
Mental illness may not have a cure but can be managed with medications and Psychotherapy.

Treatment of Mental Illness With Medications

Medication is one of the most popular ways to manage mental health conditions. This is why only certified doctors are allowed to administer medications while caring for a patient’s health. 

The best medications will depend on your particular situation and how your body responds to them. If there are signs of side effects, your doctor can easily switch the medication or change your dose.

Treatment with Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a more physical and contact treatment method that involves a session between a patient and a mental health professional (Psychotherapist, mental health professional, or a psychiatrist). This session includes a discussion about a patient’s problems and feelings and then proffers an appropriate solution. click here to read in detail https://blog.cribmd.com/can-mental-illness-be-cured/
