Patient discussion about behavioral intervention.

Q. What is cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment of depression? What is it all about? Please explain? Could someone who has actually had this explain what it is all about. I don't want to get a copy and paste answer from a web page somewhere, just a simple explanation in plain simple terms that I could relate to.

A. The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the thought process(es) that lead the patient to depression, for example thoughts of worthlessness etc. CBT has the advantages of being of brief or fixed duration, cost-effective and can foster results in short period, may heighten expectation of rapid change and encourage optimism. However, not every one is suitable for such a constructed and limited approach.

The therapy may be done in a group or in one-on-one sessions, and performed by a professional, so consulting one about the use of this modality may be wise.


Q. My son is feeling good with medicines and behavioral therapy. My son is feeling good with medicines and behavioral therapy. We have also modified his diet structure to natural diet. After the behavior therapy, he shows little or no hyperactivity. To have better results, can I go with herbal treatment? Will it be safe and effective?

A. I would recommend you to look into supplementing your son with fish oil that is rich in omega 3.

Here is an article on this

Q. Is behavior therapy a must to be followed with the medications? My child is impulsive but responds well to the medicine. Though the medicine gives minor side effects, as long as my child feels good and shows less impulsivity it is worth following the medicines. The medicine keeps him in a calm mood and I hope the side effects will disappear shortly. The doctor has also advised him to undergo behavior therapy? Is behavior therapy a must to be followed with the medications?

A. no, it shouldn't be followed with behavior therapy.
it should be INTEGRATED with behavior therapy.
without it you won't get any long term effect to the medicinal treatment. the medicinal treatment is actually a mean to help the behavior therapy.
