Studies have shown that talk therapy works as well as pills do for depression, anxiety and other disorders. Actually, it works better, if you take into account the lower relapse rate. The advantage of cognitive therapy (over drug therapy) is that it seems to keep working even after the therapy sessions are over. Often a majority of those who are treated with medications alone may relapse. But the majority of those treated with talk therapy continue to do well. A cost-benefit analysis shows that while cognitive therapy may be as expensive as drug treatment to start with (since it involves extended one-to-one sessions with a highly trained specialist); it is cheaper in the long run because there are no prescriptions to refill. And the new skills you learn will be with you the rest of your life.
After the issues you are struggling with are resolved with the help of therapy, you may become more efficient and more productive in your work life. You may be able to set better goals and reach for the kind of success that will give you a sense of real fulfillment; once you are not being hindered by the heavy weight of old struggles and problems.
