CBT is a psycho-social intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of
various mental health conditions, primarily depression and anxiety
disorders. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions
(such as thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes) and their associated
behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping
strategies that target solving current problems. Though it was
originally designed to treat depression, its uses have been expanded to
include the treatment of many mental health conditions, including
anxiety,substance use disorders, marital problems, and eating disorders.
