Online therapy in Athens
Online therapy in Athens is becoming more common as the world becomes more connected.
Online therapists help those who may feel anxious about meeting face to face in a therapist’s room, those who can’t afford offline therapy or those that simply prefer the convenience and anonymity of online counselling and psychotherapy.
The world of online counselling is vast, but many people are still unconvinced about the validity of online therapy, with some feeling that it is not real therapy.
However, there are plenty of therapists who can provide solid support and guidance through your issues via Skype or other messaging apps.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Mental Health in Athens
Mental health condition statistics in Athens are alarming. One of the reasons for this is the lack of funding. The budget has not been stable but there is hope for progress in this area because of the costs savings in the costs to provide healthcare services for all citizens. There is an obligation to provide care for all citizens.
Around 10 per cent of the population in Athens suffer from mental health problems. In Europe, the average amount is seven percent. Approximately 20 per cent is the number of people that have a mental health problem at some point in their lives.
In Greece, there is a lack of knowledge about the disease and many problems with accepting it. Around 50 to 60 per cent of those who suffer from a mental health condition do not come forward for help or help from family members. This makes treatment difficult and expensive since emergency care is required.
The government has tried to take action by introducing what is called the five key actions for mental health conditions by providing funding to research groups, education initiatives, training professionals and having more clinics available. In Athens, two new centres have been opened up which focus on helping citizens struggling with drug addiction.
