# Should I start with therapy or medication first?

As both methods prove effective for treating mental health concerns, what comes first for you all depends on what your provider recommends based on the specific concern you need help with, as some respond better to medications. However, many concerns respond well to only therapy too! Therapy is available for people who not only want to get better, but want to learn coping skills they can use in their everyday lives. Every situation is unique, and so is yours, so don’t feel like your treatment has to be limited — you could try one or both, just remember to consult your provider when considering your options!
