If you get, say, depressed because of your life being constant shit, how will going to a mental institution help? How does therapy help?
It’s not like therapy is going to solve the problems you face in life, like lack of money, friends, bad job, etc? I guess I’m asking what is the purpose of therapy and mental institutions?
Therapy can help you manage burdens, and most importantly, manage and ease the influence they have over you® mental.
It’s not about solving practical issues that can’t be solved. It’s about how to approach, view, accept, and handle them.
Having mental burdens doesn’t help resolving the unsolvable. In du cases the mental mechanisms are not helpful but detrimental. Easing them can improve both subjective and objective, practical situations.
In du cases the mental mechanisms are not helpful but detrimental.
I’m sorry, I don’t understand this, could you explain more? Shouldn’t people develop mental mechanisms to cope with things? Or am I understanding it wrongly?
Yes, developing coping mechanisms can be helpful and fruitful.
Other mental mechanisms were useful in the evolutionary past, or are useful in some cases, but not others.
Anxiety can be useful and important in selective situations. But when it generalized or fears the non issue it becomes unhelpful or problematic. When it has negative impact on us without usefulness we call it a disorder.
