Free therapy via internet
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a psychological treatment which believes that thoughts are the causes of emotions (not vice versa) and that mental disorders stem from irrational thoughts which can be replaced by more realistic substitutes. Still, therapy takes time, effort and money, meanwhile cognitive therapist are few and far between. Fortunately, now you can be treated for depression over the internet from the comfort of your own home, and the British Journal of Psychiatry will vouch for it. One of the examples of online treatment is Australian National University’s open-access MoodGym, free to use, confidential and backed by several studies. Though it’s recommended that such treatments be used as supplements to normal therapy, people have showed improvement from the internet versions alone.
