                               What is CBT?
Cognitive behaviour therapy is the therapy which helps in the treatment of Depression but now is used for a varied treatment of mental health. Cognitive behaviour therapy commonly known as CBT is a treatment focusing mainly on depression, anxiety disorder and mental health issues to improve the thought process of a person. Cognitive behaviour therapy is a bit like the age-old psychotherapy but due to the advances in research, CBT is more effective.
During a Cognitive behaviour therapy, the therapists understand the behaviour of the patient. Treatment involves developing more balanced ways to respond to stress. Ideally, these new responses will help minimize or eliminate the troubling behaviour or disorder. One can even avail free telephonic therapy over a phone call as these days many therapists are providing the facility of treatment over a call.
Cognitive behavioural therapy is widely used to treat several disorders. These disorders and conditions include:
·         antisocial behaviours
·         anxiety disorders
·         attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
·         bipolar disorder
·         conduct disorder
·         depression
·         eating disorders

·         sleep disorders
·         social skill problems

One should never ignore these feelings of depression, anxiety and mental illness because if they worsen they happen to destroy the personality of the person hence making the life of a person miserable. Therefore, it is evident that depression and anxiety disorders are curable if you can take a prior step by consulting a therapist and taking medication.
