Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and Depression: The Ultimate Guide to Overcome Depression, Panic Attacks, Improve Your Mental Health for Regain Your Happiness

Many patients suffer from anxiety disorders and depression at the same time. Frequently, vague, undifferentiated diagnoses such as 'mixed anxiety and depression' or 'adjustment disorder' are used. Accordingly, the therapeutic procedure is also poorly differentiated. The aim of the book is to facilitate the precise diagnostic assessment and targeted treatment of anxiety disorders and depression. For this purpose, the manifestation, the differential diagnosis and the cognitive-behavioral treatment of all seven anxiety disorders including unipolar depression are presented. The interweaving of anxiety and depression in their respective nuances and interactions can thus be diagnosed more precisely. Interstitial therapeutic building blocks such as confrontation, cognitive therapy and health behavior, which lead to therapeutic success in almost all disorders, are explained in detail and supplemented by disorder-specific procedures. Since the therapist-patient relationship has emerged in many studies as a particularly important, if not the most important, therapeutic variable, current findings are also presented. In this book we will provide you with everything you need to know about cognitive behavioral therapy and the reasons why it has been considered one of the most effective treatments for certain emotional disorders.
