There are many types of therapies that can be undertaken, some require education, medicines, psychotherapy, support groups, brain stimulation therapy, and others. Patients can get one or a combination of the above therapies.

The duration of the treatment also depends on the medical condition experienced, it is possible that some need medication for some time. However, there are also those who need treatment for a long time, maybe because patients experience repeated problems related to their mental health or there is a significant risk of symptoms recurrence if they stop taking drugs.
