Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured, time-limited therapy that focuses on identifying and challenging distorted cognitions and beliefs while promoting healthier behavioural patterns. The cognitive component addresses the thoughts and beliefs contributing to anxiety, while the behavioural component focuses on exposure to anxiety-provoking situations and developing coping skills. Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CBT in reducing anxiety symptoms and improving overall functioning. However, the degree of its effectiveness can vary depending on factors such as the specific type of anxiety disorder, the severity of symptoms, and individual patient characteristics.
