In today’s society, it is no new occurrence to be diagnosed with a mental illness. It is, however, disheartening to note that so many people who have such mental health conditions struggle, with each passing day to find comfort in themselves, and achieve a state of emotional stability and acceptance. It is a frightening thought being diagnosed with a mental disorder - but it shouldn’t cause you to lose the essence of who you really are.

CBT is a behavior therapy that is based on the cognitive model, which is the way that people perceive a certain event or situation is more closely connected to their own reaction than to the situation that is occurring. CBT stresses on the fact that the client can change the way they think, and they can gain control of their mood. When behavior therapists use CBT for clients over time, improvements and alleviation of symptoms from mental disorders becomes near constant.
