[Psychotherapy: the earlier, the better. Postponing therapy harms the patient and health insurance].
Psychotherapeutic measures produce good results providing they are initiated in good time, and the treatment is appropriate to the problem and given by a competent therapist. There are, however, numerous difficulties that can result in the psychogenic disorders becoming chronic. The poor public acceptance of psychotherapy is based on fear and the negative perception of this form of treatment. It would appear to be of great importance to improve the image of psychotherapy to avoid chronicity.
