What kind of therapy does this person need?

We looked online at the various providers. Each one has some “specialties” listed. My friend is needs help with stress management, and she has a lot of resentment towards her mother and she thinks this is affecting her relationship with her husband. We also thinkshe may have depression/be depressed because she cries often out of nowhere and she can’t sleep, lack of appetite and there have been a lot of things going on in her family. She is always questioning and second-guessing herself. Sometimes she will be fine and will start a fight or look sad for no reason, but the mood swings are not as severe to be bi-polar.
The specialties listed are : Cognitive therapy, solution based counseling, women’s issues, family, marital, anxiety disorders, affective disorders, anger management, behavio modification. I am trying to help her but we are so confused as to what she needs! Please advise. Thanks.

I would suggest to go see a family doctor who will be able to recommend a specialist. It is important to get professional help. Depression, extreme mood swings and anxieties can have many causes. Having a difficult life, but also an imbalance in your body, can cause someone to be depressed.

When you look for professional help, you may receive medication and psychotherapy. The medication will be adjusted according to your need and you may not need it later on. Make sure your friend will receive counselling/psychotherapy to deal with certain issues. Medication should not be the only answer.

Find out what type of specialist will be covered in her health plan. This way her family doctor may be able to advice her more sufficiently. Your friend may need to try out various services, before she finds one that works for her. The important thing is to start looking for help…not on the internet, but with an actual professional. Her family doctor should be the first step in order to get a referral to another professional.
