Beating the Blues
Recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) guidelines as an option of treatment for those with depression.
This is a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) based treatment programme to assist with the symptoms of anxiety and depression. It is an easy self-help computer programme, proceeded by GP or MH professional assessment that lasts for 8 sessions – each being approximately 1 hour long.
At the end of each session a handout is printed, tailored to the patient's needs, and a progress report is send to the GP/referring agent, which includes an alert for suicidal thoughts if present.
