Is Talk Therapy A Good Practice Long After Suffering From Depression?
My husband has been in weekly talk therapy for over 10 years. He did not have a traumatic childhood, or any serious trauma in his past, although had some problems with depression which instigated the therapy, but which have been resolved. As fas as I know, he and his therapist have not discussed any sort of end-game. Is this normal or good practice?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Talk therapy will definitely benefit for a person who is having depression. Along with it he also needs to take certain prescribed medications regularly. Healthy diet and good amount of fluid intake are also equally essential.
Practicing meditation would be an added advantage in such cases as it would help to keep mind healthy.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
