Feeling lost about how to treat disturbing intrusive thoughts? You're not alone!

In studies comparing CBT to other psychotherapies, along with comparing to medication taken alone without any therapeutic intervention, CBT has shown a higher rate of success for a wide range of different mental health issues. Those with depression, anger issues, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and even eating disorders, have shown high rates of alleviation of symptoms if they put effort into learning the techniques taught to them and put those techniques to good use.
