Do people still see therapists when they already know what’s gotten them depressed in the first place? You know what’s gotten you depressed but you cant change it.

Yes, people may still see therapists even if they know what has caused their depression but feel unable to change it. Therapy can be helpful in several ways:

1. Developing coping strategies: A therapist can help you develop strategies for coping with the stressors that are contributing to your depression. These may include relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, or behavioral changes that can help you manage your symptoms.
2. Identifying and addressing negative thought patterns: Depression often involves negative thought patterns and beliefs that can perpetuate feelings of sadness and hopelessness. A therapist can help you identify and challenge these negative patterns, and develop more positive and adaptive ways of thinking.
3. Providing emotional support: Talking to a therapist about your feelings can be a helpful way to gain support and validation, and feel less alone in your struggles.
4. Recommending additional resources: A therapist can also recommend additional resources, such as support groups, medication, or lifestyle changes, that can help you manage your depression.

Ultimately, the goal of therapy is not necessary to change the circumstances that have contributed to your depression but to help you better manage and cope with them. Therapy can provide you with the tools and support you need to improve your mental health and well-being, even in the face of difficult challenges.
