Is Therapy the Need of The Hour for This Generation?


The generation that’s been brought up with the internet has finally done something that generations before could not do — start a meaningful conversation around mental health. But is that just because this generation is more approachable or because this generation, more than any, needs therapy? The answer is a lot more complex than the question. How do you suggest that a generation that went through a literal war didn’t depression therapy as much as this generation does? Or the generation that lived through the great depression? While there are substantial cases to be built for all the generations, the bottom line is that this generation has more access to therapy than the older ones. This also means that the new generation sees mental health problems and tries to address them, instead of suppressing them like they did in the older days.

In today’s hyper competitive, cutthroat, limited opportunities world, the pressures are unsurmountable on the kids. What also plays an important role is the gap in acceptance level of mental health between the kids and their parents. The unspoken, unaddressed discomfort when it comes to addressing issues related to mental health can have a telling impact on not just the relationship between the kid and the parent, but also the kid’s external relationships, and the relationship with themselves. Stress management therapy has become a huge part of many of the kids because the expectations to perform both on a professional and personal levels are huge. While we’ll never really answer which generation needed therapy the most, the fact of the matter is that this generation needs it. And for their betterment, they have tools to get better. So, if you are someone who has been on the fence about therapy, it’s time you jump to this side.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

COMBATTING DEPRESSION WITH FAMILY’S HELP

Feeling sad is normal. We all feel sad from time to time. The reasons for this sadness may vary. Death or loss of a close one, break up, failure, fight, are some of the instances that make us sad as humans. But eventually, we learn to accept the facts of what has happened, and we move on. Gradually, you feel better and you start living normally again. But what if, this sadness never goes away? What if, you keep feeling sad, and not knowing what is making you sad makes it worse?

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it. But sometimes, due to some reasons, we may not be able to cope up with those problems. Nothing we do seems to work out or seems to ease the situation. This in turn leads to a lot of mental stress for an individual. There are many instances when one might seek help from people close to them. But if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
