Author : Dr. S Shyamkiran Singh and Dr. S Priyalakshmi Devi
Abstract :
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a widely researched and clinically proven method for treating various mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This therapy helps individuals to eliminate avoidant and safety seeking behaviours that prevent self-correction of faulty beliefs. Researches indicated that CBT was effective for a variety of mental health problems, physical conditions and behavioural problems in short term and follow ups are needed to assess the long term effect of CBT. This paper explores the principles of CBT, its effectiveness in addressing mental health challenges, and its application in diverse clinical settings. Through the analysis of CBT techniques, therapeutic outcomes, and case studies, this paper highlights the strengths of CBT in fostering long-term mental health improvements.
