Information about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
My doctor is referring me to cognitive behavioral therapy for general depressed/negative moods and such, due to a long term illness.
To be honest, I’ve never heard of it until now. I was doing a bit of Googling but I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with it (if so, did it help?) or was familiar with it in any way?
Thanks for any answers. 
Yes, it has been the most helpful thing to me in my battle with clinical depression. Frankly, I believe it is the only thing along with meds to take the edge off that has helped me thru the years. It gives you a new way to see life and others and how to deal with them. It helps you see how you have gotten yourself into the negative moods nd depressed situation. I learned that I have a choice in how I can view a situation and feel about it. It’s really quite practical and amazing at the same time.

It’s a very common therapy for depression and other mood or anxiety disorders. It’s less about your family history and how that affects your life, and more about how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors. It’s a very practical therapy, and I would recommend it, too.
