I did not receive therapy until I was at my later adolescent period. When I had first started going through a traumatic period during my later teenage years, I was caught unaware and I had personally believed this personal attack had also lead me to be hospitalized in various institutions. Unfortunately, I was in therapy for awhile because my depression led me to this situation. My mental decline back then was a lot worse than the present, in which the dosage of medications that I currently take, have balanced out my overall mood stabilization. Some occurrences, I had shown past depression even in therapy and cried sometimes, almost leading me to the mental institution even during or after my therapy session. People should go to therapy if they feel like they can't solve crises that are out of their reach. For me, I felt like I didn't need therapy and medications to supplement the condition that I went through during my breaking point. However, not on a personal level, it was given to me because I couldn't opt out of it. My depression was severe and professionals thought that it would benefit me more, based on their stance on it. But, mental incline is achievable if therapy can help benefit those who do seek for its assistance.
