Thank you.
8 to 12 Sessions on Average. Plus it depends on your motivation to do behavioral Experiments and how you challenge your associated fears.
required complt history then session will confrm otherwise you take the oppointment and take alteast one session
All depends upon the onset of the symptoms. either number of sessions or medicine. Moreover detailed history is required. U can book appoitment with me via Marham.
No. Psychotherapy and medication work side by side. Psychotherapy alone can not be the substitute.
Assalamualaikum. Yes psychotherapy is effective alone as well as with medications. It depends upon the severity of the disorder. Sometimes both the psychotherapy and medications run together for better outcome. You can consult me via Marham Application for consultation.
Yes..... Psychotherapy sessions will help you in sha Allah... Basically in therapy we work on mind strength....
Sessions mostly base on severity of illness.. Any how the proper and full treatment plan will convey you after appointment...
Merham platform help you to find a good consultant.
Bless you.
Medication are important if the problem is so sever that the person cant even concentrate what he is told. But if symptoms are moderate and the person is able to concentrate what he or she is told than sessions are effective. No of sessions depends on individual progress in a sessions plus the condition of the problem.. time duration of the illness can also effect the no of session required.
with psychotherapy u also have to get medication...
Hi
yes, psychotherapy is useful for u but depends on your issues, and sessions will also be planned accordingly as per you need to recover from your situations.
Aoa, it will depend upon the condition and history. You should take counselling sessions it will help alot.
First of all it is needed whats the intensity of Panic attacks? And level of anxiety either severe or moderate? Usually 8 therapeutic sessions would enough (except assessment session). Also panic disorder and other anxiety disorders are absolutely treatable by psychotherapy. Don't worry, in fact it's the better choice :)
yes.Panic can be handled with psychotherapy. No. of sessions vary from patient to patient
Assalam o Aliakum dear....medicine and therapy both are effective by its own procedure like 50percent medicine and 50 percent therpay. No of session depend on your acute condition and coping ability but it will b mange.😊 khush rehye r khushiyan batnay
Cognitive behavioral therapy for panic attacks and panic disorder lasts about twelve sessions for most people, with most people with most people reporting improvement after the first few sessions. Some people respond more quickly, needing fewer sessions, while others need more than twelve sessions due to other complicating factors such as depression or OCD.
Moreover, psychotherapy will help you to identify triggers and cognitive errors.
If you are having acute physical symptoms so medications would play an important role but meanwhile start your psychotherapy sessions to identify the triggers.
Feel free to contact
both will b affective...number of sessions depends on recovery .....
Asalamualikum wrwb, yes psychotherapy can be substitute of medication for anxiety disorder. Session vary karty hein condition dekhty huay. App marham k through contact karein, In Sha Allah detail may history wgera li jaey ge, causes dekhty huay diagnose kr k sessions proceed karein gay. Allah Pak app k hami o nasir hon ameen sum ameen.
yes psychotherapy helps alot
A psychologist can help you with different techniques to improve the symptoms.I would suggest you to take psychotherapy sessions to feel better.Your sessions will depend on your level of intensity.
Warm regards.
yes you can have you tried breathing into a,paper bag to calm yourself down? do that...yry relaxation techniques try Jacobson search for it on you tube... but do consult a psychologist you need to tackle thoughts that cause anxiety
psychotherapy will be helpful... 10,12 sessions will be needed... you can contact...
6 to 8 and mostly it depends on your willingness and motivation
therapy is not a substitute of medication but both can help side by side. it depends on your severity level therapy alone can be effective if your problem is not severe. for detail discussion consult with a psychologist you will be fine inshaAllah
regards
well, it depends on your motivation level or it depends on therapy , contact me through marham
Different people respond to treatments differently. Therefore, if the medication does not help, try adding therapy. The combination of medication and psychotherapy have been shown to help people with symptoms of depression or anxiety.
However , the length of therapy depends on the intensity and number of symptoms you want to work on. Therapist and client decide the number of sessions after history taking and goal setting for therapy.
