How does talking to a professional about your problems help you in any way? I’ve been in and out of therapy for years and I simply don’t find any use in it. I just tell the therapist about my emotions and my life, they try to be understanding and offer some very basic advice I already knew about. Why is therapy often recommended more than medication and thought of as a better solution when it’s literally just normal discussion that can’t change brain chemistry?

The brain can very easily change the problem by rethinking the problem. Of course, some problems can’t be changed by just talking about them, but generally speaking, a good % of mental health issues relate to some pattern of thought or perception which can be altered. The therapist’s role is to help you alter it. Relying largely or solely on medication is a life-long deal for most.
