People can get a suggestion from the doctors and psychologist online, but it feels different than if we meet them face to face. That people need to go to that therapist so they can know how to cure themselves. Besides that, they will get the right medicine from the psychologist because I think the level of the addiction itself will be different than other people.
Physical appointment I think is always better than online consultation.
There are some behaviour that a psychologist can see during those physical consultations that online can't see.
But for the time being, one can start having online consultation if he really wants to change.
And when the time permits, you can physically visit your doctors because they will understand more of your situation and so they can help according to your needs.
That is why if the addicted person can meet personally with the psychologist, it will give a chance for the psychologist to analyze what is happening to that person. The psychologist can also provide the right medicine or treatment to that person so he will have a chance to cure his addiction. I think that is the only way for the addicted person to be helped by the psychologist, and I think they will be able to find the problem deeper than online.
Online doctors and psychologists won't help them who are addicted because they don't meet the addicted people face to face. They can only give advice to people who addicted from far away, but if they can meet directly, I think they can consult about the problem and figure out how to solve the addicting. When it comes to mental, I think the meet will be necessary so the doctors and psychologists can find the solution.
In my opinion, this is better than no one to talk to. the best thing in this world is when you lose everything you have or let's say you didn't get the thing you ask for you will feel distressed and lose some confidence and the first thing you need to have is someone to talk that can understand your situation. I'm really glad that we have someone like this that we can ask for instruction and advise us on what to do in the time of calamity and distress.
Talk to other people can be another solution because he can share his problem, especially his addiction to gambling, so maybe that person can give a solution on how to solve the problem. Usually, we can talk to someone that close to us so we can free to talk about our problem, and the important is we can trust that person to help us.
