Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy, also known as hypnotic medicine, is a use of hypnosis in psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy is viewed as a helpful adjunct therapy by proponents, having additive effects when treating psychological disorders, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sleep disorders, compulsive gambling, phobias and post-traumatic stress, along with cognitive therapies. The effectiveness of hypnotherapy is not adequately supported by scientific evidence, and due to the lack of evidence indicating any level of efficiency, it is regarded as a type of alternative medicine by reputable medical organisations such as the National Health Service.
