Therapy is a term that is used quite often in recent times because it has slowly become socially acceptable to have a mental illness. Unlike in the olden times where people were burned at the stake for having schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Therapy has now evolved from that time and is know literally now as the treatment of physical or mental illnesses. This can be seen as a sort of mending of the mind. Like placing a bandaid on the brain so that the scrape will heal faster.
Ancient Greece had a type of therapy called milieu therapy. They would take people out of their old environment and place them into a calmer more simple place so they could heal. When they were better they would be brought back to their old environment to continue on with their lives. This type of therapy is a lot like the type of therapy used today. Today Psychologists take about an hour or two out of a persons week to take them out of their old environment and make sure that they understand what is going on. This strategy allows for the modern person to have a short break from their hectic world. This short break is like a vacation from the stress they experience everyday.
Even after they leave the office a person can continue to feel stressed as their hectic life takes back over. This can be solved by the recent development of drug use in psychology. This use of drugs as a form of therapy is both good and bad. It can help people but it can also lead to other problems like addiction.
To sum it up, Therapy is a term used to describe how peoples minds can be mended like placing a bandaid on a wound. This term came from Ancient Greece and has evolved and developed since then. It can be interpreted as a bad thing but overall someone that is going through therapy is doing good for them. They are choosing to see the good in themselves and grow from that.
