What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) For Depression?

In this video I explain what Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Depression involves. This is currently the most effective long term treatment for Depression. Extensive research into treatment for Depression has been carried out over the past few decades and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has been consistently shown to be the most effective approach over the longer term. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has in fact been shown to be more effective than medication because medication does not resolve the root of the problem so once treatment ends symptoms tend to return. Good Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) should be individually tailored to your needs, therapist offering 'off the shelf' treatments should be avoided as these will be far less effective than a treatment that is designed specifically to resolve your Depression. In essence Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) will involve learning a range of psychological and practical techniques designed not just to reduce your symptoms of Depression but to ensure that they do not return in the future.
