Self-Help

When it comes to mental health care, an alternative method to traditional medicine is the use of self-help. These are followed by an individual seeking books that may offer them support, or groups involving people who have similar needs. While the first is executed by the patient, the group meetings are facilitated by an individual who offers guidance. These groups are formed to assist people in dealing with difficult life events. They can be combined with a conventional treatment or not, usually operating on an informal, free-of-charge, and non-profit basis.
