Behaviour
Therapy
The goal of Behaviour Therapy is to
modify and gain control over unwanted
behaviour. The individual learns to
cope with difficult situations, often
through controlled exposure to them.
This kind of therapy gives the individual
a sense of having control over their
life.
Cognitive
Therapy
The goal of Cognitive Therapy is to
change unproductive or harmful thought
patterns. The individual examines
his feelings and learns to separate
realistic from unrealistic thoughts.
As with Behaviour Therapy, the individual
is actively involved in his own recovery
and has a sense of control.
Cognitive-Behavior
Therapy (CBT)
Many therapists use a combination
of Cognitive and Behaviour Therapies,
this is often referred to as CBT.
One of the benefits of these types
therapies is that the patient learns
recovery skills that are useful for
a lifetime.
Relaxation
Techniques
Relaxation Techniques help individuals
develop the ability to more effectively
cope with the stresses that contribute
to anxiety, as well as with some of
the physical symptoms of anxiety.
The techniques taught include breathing
re-training and exercise. Regular
exercise helps one feel healthier,
increases the production of natural
'feel good' chemicals in the body,
boosts self-esteem and significantly
reduces the symptoms of depression,
stress and anxiety.
Medication
Medication can be very useful in the
treatment of anxiety disorders and
it is often used in conjunction with
one or more of the therapies mentioned
above. Sometimes anti-depressants
or anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medications)
are used to alleviate severe symptoms
so that other forms of therapy can
go forward. Medication is effective
for many people and can be either
a short-term or long-term treatment
option, depending on the individual.
Interestingly,
some foods help to fight depression
and anxiety. A carbohydrate rich diet
helps the body produce serotonin -
the 'feel good' chemical. Special
serotonin foods are oats, whole wheat,
bananas and other carbohydrate rich
foods. Make sure you are having a
full supplement of Vitamin B, magnesium,
zinc and iron - a deficiency in any
of these can lead to depression and
anxiety-type symptoms and insomnia.
