New Simple, Inexpensive Therapy Shows Promise in Treating Depression
A simple and inexpensive therapy has shown promise for treating depression and it could potentially replace cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a gold standard treatment, in future.CBT is the most widely recommended intervention for treating depression and other mental disorders but most of the patients who need therapy for depression are unable to receive this treatment as they cannot either afford it or had to endure long waits to make an appointment.Behavioral Activation (BA), on the other hand, is psychotherapy or talking therapy that requires minimal training and can be delivered by junior staff in place of a specialist, making it more accessible than CBT.
