More and more couples are coming to see a psychologist to find out and solve the problems that prevent them from living their relationship happily. This is, at least, the conclusion drawn from the almost 4,000 requests that Mundopsicologos.com has received throughout 2014. And it is also confirmed that this is a growing trend, since it is presented as the service most in demand since 2012, when more than 2,000 queries were already received.
Anxiety and depression
On the other hand, other pathologies that continue to greatly concern visitors to the portal are anxiety and depression, which throughout 2014 have received almost 2,500 requests.
In fact, and according to professionals, the still complicated general economic situation and how to deal with it, the high unemployment rates and, of course, the personal problems that these situations entail continue to be circumstances that are especially conducive to developing disorders of this type.
However, the increase of more than 200 requests compared to 2013 that has been detected in consultations related to personal development – which is ranked as the fifth most requested service, ahead of adult therapies – also appears encouraging.
Greater demand in big cities
Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville and Valencia are, in addition to the four most populated cities on the peninsula, the provinces from which the greatest number of requests have been made interested in couples therapy.
In fact, in the Spanish capital they have exceeded 600 – of the more than 3,000 that have been carried out in total – and in the Catalan capital, 430 – almost 20% of the global figure. On the other hand, Seville and Valencia have remained around 180 and 160 respectively.
With respect to the rest of the services, Madrid also occupies first place in requests about anxiety, depression and adult therapies, although, from Barcelona, ​​a significant number – 145 requests – of questions about anxiety also arrive.
