COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) IS A THERAPY THAT TEACHES PATIENTS HOW TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE WAYS OF COPING WITH A RANGE OF CHALLENGES, INCLUDING DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND PANIC DISORDERS. COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT THE PERSON IS HAVING DIFFICULTIES BECAUSE OF FAULTY THINKING AND BEHAVIORS. THESE “MENTAL FAULTS” OR TWISTED THINKING OFTEN MANIFEST IN SELF-DEPRECIATION OR GUILT, CATASTROPHIZING SITUATIONS, TENDING TO IMAGINE THE WORST, OR OVERESTIMATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING. FOR EXAMPLE, VETERANS AND CIVIL SERVANTS MIGHT THINK, “COULD I HAVE DONE MORE,” OR “SURVIVOR’S GUILT.” DISTINGUISHING AND CHANGING THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS AND BEHAVIORS WREAKING HAVOC ON VETERANS AND CIVIL SERVANTS’ WELL-BEING.” VETERANS AND CIVIL SERVANTS WILL GET A MORE REALISTIC VIEW OF WHAT'S GOING ON” WHEN ENGAGED IN COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.
