Most treatment methods for mental health disorders can be categorized as either somatic or psychotherapeutic treatment. Somatic treatments include drug therapy and electroconvulsive therapy. Psychotherapeutic treatments include individual, group, or family and marital psychotherapy; behavior therapy techniques (such as relaxation training or exposure therapy); and hypnotherapy. Most studies suggest that for major mental health disorders,both drugs and psychotherapy is more effective than either treatment method used alone.
