Bibliotherapy is a type of therapy that psychologists often use to help change negative thoughts and behaviors. By reading, patients can use their imagination to look inward, reflect on their lives, and manage their emotions. This helps them improve their habits alongside other treatments.
       Therapists usually suggest self-help books, literature, poetry, or fiction.
       Research shows that reading books can reduce depression in adults over the long term. It is fast, affordable, and cuts down on unnecessary medication.
       However, it doesn't work for everyone, such as people who struggle to separate reality from fantasy, individuals with intellectual disabilities, or those with ADHD.
       But for the rest of us, picking up the right book can instantly soothe and heal the mind, no doctor's note needed.
