Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is a common treatment for many mental health problems and experiences. It is based on the idea that how we think about situations can affect the way we feel and behave. For example, if you interpret a situation negatively, you might experience negative emotions. And those bad feelings might lead you to behave in a certain way.
CBT combines two types of therapy to help you deal with these thoughts and behaviors:
Cognitive therapy – examining the things you think.
Behaviour therapy – examining the things you do.
Patients are often asked to complete different questionnaires to assess how they feel and guage their mental health. This dashboard looks at patient responses to the following:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)
- Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9)
- Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)
