not from what I've heard. based on that I'd say generally probably not. Mostly not.

I had an injury to my left hand late last year. Therapy helped very much but it has taken long to heal. Therapy and pain meds can be a good combination if you find the right therapist. It must be said there are plenty of quacks out there.

Its hasn't done anything for me.
Physical therapy has helped me. Also I had a few sessions at a relaxation therapist(she was a physical therapist, mostly for breathing), she did more for me than my psychologists ever could.

yes but you have to go to it with complete honesty and willing to do the work. which means sticking with it for some time and really do the work it needs and able to question your own truths.
expect to be asked to do lots of self reflection and also maybe you will feel pain and hurt ego, but you come out stronger, more stable and better adjusted.

If you don't want to be helped (or change) then therapy can't do anything for you.
That's the bottom line.

It can help, but you have to find the right therapist. Someone you can open up to and be completely honest with. If you're not willing to confront your inner demons and talk about your most shameful experiences then it's not even worth bothering with.

Oh, absolutely... I haven't killed anyone in days because of it. Oh, good, because I bet that infamous back yard of yours is starting to fill up!  Therapy has helped me in situational hard times; my own potential life-threatening illness, my husband's illness and death, my best friend's potential life-threatening illness, and dealing with my mother after my father died. Same therapist, on and off for, like, 25 years. I've always tended toward depression, and she helped with that. She's retired, now, but I'm doing better with the right meds, and learned enough along the way to think more analytically, and be able to sort things out for myself. I was fortunate that I found a good one.

After a while, if you survive long enough, you need to learn to appreciate what's important to you personally and what isn't. Life's too short to waste on what doesn't matter. And for me personally, one of the most comforting thoughts I come back to time and time again, is the fact the universe is not cruel, it is merely indifferent.

If your forced into it, then it only helps to empty your bank account.
