Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a structured form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning to help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. It typically lasts for 12 to 16 sessions and emphasizes the connection between emotional well-being and personal relationships. The therapy is based on the idea that interpersonal issues can contribute to mental health problems. By addressing these issues, such as grief, role transitions, or conflicts, individuals can develop better communication skills and enhance their support systems, leading to improved emotional health and overall quality of life.
