What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a scientific medical method by which a person's thoughts, feelings can be controlled and some healthy habits can be taught to him. With this, a doctor creates an innate environment around a person, so that the person can talk to him about his mind and problems without any hesitation.
