In many cases, the treatments for mental illnesses depend on standard tools of the physician's trade: the administration of drugs, surgery or particular medical intervention. These procedures focus on repairing specific biological problems. However, this view is too easy because mental illnesses involve many different causes, some are biological but other are lodged in a person's circumstances. When a particular form of therapy must be chosen, then it's important to focus on what works instead of focusing only on how the disorder arose. In fact, there may be not a direct correspondence between the trigger of a disorder and the nature of the treatment. Drug therapies appear to be effective but it's absolutely important to seek different forms of therapy that tries to change the thinking and the behavior of the patient.

It's clear that different forms of therapy exist but do they work and why? Are they able to help people?
