What the question said. Although if you’ve tried CBT for other things, feel free to share.
I tried cognitive-behaviour therapy for anxiety and depression.It helped me for a while,but here I am again,there is not cure for depression,but relapse or recurrence…….. It is night here,I am going to bed very soon,I want to sleep and not wake up again anymore.
Not everyone benefits from CBT, therefore, an in-depth assessment is conducted in order to evaluate whether an individual is likely to benefit from this approach. During your initial assessment at the clinic, you may wish to discuss the appropriateness of CBT for your presenting concerns with the assessing clinician. If CBT appears to be indicated then you may be referred to one of CBT therapists for a more in-depth cognitive therapy assessment of your suitability.
CBT is a well-researched form of psychotherapy and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a number of psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, fears, and obsessions. In general, research has shown that CBT is as effective as medication for mild to moderately severe cases, in the short-run, and in the long-run, CBT has been shown to maintain an individual’s gains and therefore, reduce the risk of relapse or recurrence. While the research is inconclusive regarding the combined effects of medication and CBT, over and above either form of treatment, it is not uncommon for treatment to include both components. However, you and your therapist can discuss the merits of using a combined approach to your problems.
i have tried it. at first i fought it (a lot!) because i was so negative about everything in my life. i thought it was stupid and not for me, but with repetition of positive thoughts and processes, it eventually changes to a more positive mentality. it works. you have to change your whole perception of everything and force yourself to do it. good luck.

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called "St John’s Wort" – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
