Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I wanted to know about CBT in a brief. How effective is it? If possible please provide me links to some books for the same. Do I need a psychiatrist to help or can I practice on my own with such self-help books? I have read that almost all patients reduce their symptoms drastically when those techniques are practiced sincerely, and program their brain to be calm. I am not a pop-a-pill type of person, I always look for some natural methods before I start any medication. I do not have any serious issues. I just wanted to try it out for stress instead of SSRIs. I also try dark chocolate, tea, walking, Vitamin B, etc. and it is helping. Please advise.
Thank you.

I suggest reading books on CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy). There are many books available that are like self-help in depression and completely cover CBT. It can also be searched on the Internet.
I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
