Application And Exclusion Criteria For The Screening And Preoperative Evaluation Phases

It was found that with extensive CBT treatment quality of life and SAD symptomatology were effected in a positive way, however throughout a twelve month follow-up with patients who did not continue with CBT treatment, the results did not hold up. And lastly they found that low levels of SAD, non-generalized SAD and family support were factors that influenced the resilience of the treatment benefits (Watanabe, Furukawa, Chen, Kinoshita, Nakano, Ogawa, & Noda. 2010).

DBT is designed to treat clients at all levels of severity and complexity of disorders. A growing body of empirical studies has examined DBT. DBT has been the subject of the most study and is the most widely used (Carson-Wong, Rizvi, & Steffel, 2013).

Here in this stable and safe environment from the outside world, he could engage in cognitive behavioural therapy. This would help change Solitano’s core beliefs through analysing his inaccurate perceptions of himself and others, in particular, his belief in returning to his estranged wife. Results indicate that CT may be an effective intervention for the treatment of BD. Specifically, CT may be useful in improving the quality of life and functioning, increasing compliance, helping early symptom recognition, decrease relapse and decrease depressive and maniac symptomatology. (P. Juruena, 2012, p.

The aspect of BPD that drew me towards it was the notion that it is a more widespread mental illness than people think, often tied down to difficulties in diagnosing it due to crossovers with other illnesses such as depression which uses similar diagnosis criterion from the DSM V. In fact BPD affects 50% more people than Alzheimer’s disease and nearly as many as schizophrenia and bipolar combined (2.25%). There are a number of treatments available including new advances in epigenetics meaning a potential for more effective medication, as well as ' talking therapy ' treatments such as schema based therapy, metallization therapy and dialectal behaviour therapy which I am going to evaluate in order to decide according to scientific evidence and application what the most effective treatment for BPD is at present. The most effective treatment will be decided upon a

A number of tests would be performed to analyze the extent of damage of the heart. An electrocardiogram would be one of the first tests performed to check the electrical

In addition, CBT is effective because it has the capacity to treat a wide variety of psychological disorders. Among adults, it has been proven effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse/dependence, common marital problems and diet disorders. To conduct CBT within older individuals, it is important to assess cognitive capacity, evaluate whether a patient has sufficient memory function and cognitive processing skills. A brief cognitive screen such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment is effective to assess early problems with executive functioning. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) is another recommended screen for severity of depressive symptoms.

The patients were involved in the examination of the correlation between the treatment response to rTMS and the regional CBF in the frontal regions, by analyzing their brain scans before the rTMS treatment. The administration of the rTMS was utilized by using a Magstim Super Rapid. There was a total of 12 treatment sessions during a three week period. The study focused on 16 brain regions, which had some correlation with the improvement of depression by rTMS

To begin with, according to an article written by Lyons, MD, “Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has developed during the past 20 years as a remarkable treatment option for several

Treatments using anti-depressants is well documented, but there are very few studies documenting only the use of psychotherapy. However, in one study done using the Cognitive–behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP) as a maintenance treatment, the overall findings show that psychotherapy in itself can be successful. “ There were 82 patients who were treated with CBASP long term. Patients were chosen at random to reduce their treatment to monthly or to an observational status. The patients, only treated monthly with CBASP, showed a smaller amount of reoccurring symptoms then the patients in the observational status. These findings support the use of only CBASP as a maintenance treatment for depression.” (Klein, 2004)

A probable reason why CBT works with depressed patients is that depression interacts with both cognitive and motivational processes. This is well evidenced in experimental analogue research with healthy and depressed individuals. Individuals with depression show deficits on a range of cognitive tests (Brown, Scott, Bench, 1994) with the pattern of dysfunction having many of the characteristics associated with fronto-subcortical impairment. Reischies and Neu (2000) found that depressed individuals displayed mild cognitive impairments in comparison with matched controls, particularly in the areas of "adverbial" memory, psychomotor speed and verbal fluency. Further in these patients there appears to be considerable variation in the recovery of cognitive function with remission of the depressive episode.

As the literature remains inconclusive as to the relation between current major treatment modalities and depressive disorder, and given the extremities of the potential dangers of antidepressant medications, it is apparent that there is a need to develop new interventions, which show greater efficacy, safety, and acceptability.

In the study, 180 patients meeting the criterias for severe and major depression were assigned to either one of the treatment methods. Of these, 104 met the response criteria and were included in a 12 month continuation phase and constitute the main focus of the study. Patients who had responded to the therapy were withdrawn and followed up during a 12-month period. Those who had responded to the medication treatment (Paroxetine) were either assigned to a placebo group or a continuation meducation group, with both being followed up for 12 months. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) was used during the entire study, and during the continuation phase relapse was defined as a return of symptoms lasting for at least 2 weeks.

CBT has shown to be as useful as antidepressant medication for individuals with depression and is superior in preventing relapse. Clients receiving CBT for all depression disorders are encouraged to schedule activities in order to increase the amount of pleasure they experience. In addition, depressed patients learn how to restructure negative thought patterns in order to interpret their environment in a less biased way. CBT for Bipolar Disorder and the high-risk depressed client is used as an adjunct to medication treatment and focuses on psychoeducation about the disorder and understanding cues and triggers for relapse. The client will have more reason to gain more confidence in them. Studies indicate
