<p>We can take a cocktail of medications to re-balance the brain and hit seratonin receptor sites&#8230;&#8230;BUT we <span style="font-weight:bold;">must work</span> on healthy thoughts. We must work on cognitive distortions. We must choose to see the glass half full or we will always be half empty. These all take work&#8230;..and many do not want to look at their thoughts and behaviors.</p>
<p>Psychotherapy and counseling help those that want to change their lives and work through stress, anger,anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, depression, ADD, ADHD, grief, sadness, behaviors( unwanted), modify behavior and reach a balance of happiness: physically, mentally, and emotionally.</p>
