National Psychotherapy Day

National Psychotherapy Day is dedicated to mental illness, which is often ignored. Many do not consider it a serious problem, but without proper attention, the situation can worsen – not only mental health, but also physical health can suffer. Fortunately, advances have been made in the field of mental health care, but not everyone is aware of them. Psychotherapy is highly effective in the treatment of mental illness.

History

For a long time, people used therapy as a help, but its format was very informal, e.g., conversations with close relatives and friends. Gradually, a direction was formed in medicine that deals with mental health. Today, there are different forms of therapy.

Interesting Facts

  • The direction of psychotherapy was developed in the 9th century by the Persian physician Razes.
