I’m glad Rowling came out with this. It may help some young people who have been struggling with depression to realize there really is help out there.

I’d also like to add that cognitive behavioral therapy (sometimes known just as behavioral therapy) is extremely effective for many mental issues. I struggled for years with extreme social anxiety, agoraphobia, and various other phobias. After various unsuccessful therapies, I took a course three years ago that was entirely behavioral therapy, and my life turned around completely. Even though I had extreme anxiety for over fifteen years, my anxiety went away in just a few weeks with the proper therapy. I would recommend behavioral therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy to anyone who struggles with depression, anxiety, OCD, or similar issues.

Likewise. Depression often takes away your sense of Spirituality and, in my case, that was only restored by cognitive behavioral therapy.
