Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) constitutes a group of treatment procedures aimed at identifying and modifying faulty thought processes, attitudes and attributions, and problem behaviours.
It focuses on solutions, motivating patients to challenge distorted cognitions and change destructive patterns of behaviour.
The tools deployed in CBT, which include learning to identify and dispute unrealistic thoughts and developing problem-solving skills have been used to treat a wide range of mental health challenges.
CBT has been proved to be an effective tool in the management of variety of mental health issues viz. depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, panic, schizophrenia and OCD to name a few.
