Psychologist counselling helps the patient's emotional dysregulation problem by using CBT and DBT therapies because it's directly related to the mental condition. It can be cured by getting consistent counselling sessions.
Emotional dysregulation problem is not a mental illness by itself. Still, it can be a major symptom of borderline personality disorder (BPD), Bipolar disorder (BPD) and Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). It needs to be treated by a proven and experienced psychologist.
