What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ?
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been widely demonstrated to be effective in combating depression and anxiety.
It is recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (UK) and the American Psychiatric Association for treatment of depression and anxiety (US).
CBT has a practical emphasis, and is easy to understand. Its general principle is that low mood follows from negative thought patterns. Recovery is based on development of accurate thinking skills together with planned activities, both of which disrupt low mood.
How does Blues Begone work ?
Blues Begone uses the Cognitive Behavior Therapy, also known as CBT, and is widely recognised as the most effective, as it not only helps you to feel better it also trains you to feel better for longer.
Depression and anxiety are created and maintained by strong negative and self defeating thought patterns. It challenges and changes these replacing them with more accurate and useful ways of thinking. Gaining control over negative thoughts and destructive feelings gives you more control over yourself so you can have the life you want.
Blues Begone gives you between 20 to 40 hours of structured CBT. It is designed to be used 5 times per week for between 20 -30 minutes each time. But you always have total control over your own Active Self Help treatment. You can do as little or as much as you want to, Blues Begone will always take you back to where you left off.
With more than 300 individual elements, to keep you engaged, with more than 20 interactive tasks, with more than 35 cartoons and animations it is a fantastic Active Self Help resource, making the treatment engaging and meaningful.
Blues Begone can also be used in conjunction with any sort of psychotherapy and also with any sort of medication. Anything you can do to help yourself surely has to make other kinds of help more useful to you. Getting in touch with your own healing capacity can only ever help you.

Because Blues Begone is loaded onto your own computer and is password protected no one has to know you are helping yourself. We do ask that you allow your assessment data to be sent anonymously to our database in the USA but there is no e-mail or return address attached to this, in any case you have the choice to send the data or not.
Can I use Blues Begone with the new windows Vista system?
You can use blues Begone with the new Windows Vista system. Occasionally we have found that on the initial installation Vista generates an error message that is non fatal, but seems be be caused by Vista placing files in places that Blues Begone does not expect.
Can I use Blues Begone with Apple computers?
Sorry, Blues Begone does not support the Apple Mac OS X operating system at this time.
