New Trends in Psychology
Keywords:
Depression; anxiety; panic attacks; rational/irrational beliefs; cognitionAbstract
In this paper I used methods specific to cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy in solving a case of depressive-anxiety disorder with panic attacks. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a form of problem-focussed psychotherapy, with obvious results centred on ameliorating or curing neuropsychotic (nervous diseases) or psychosomatic symptoms (relating to the mental origin of certain diseases). After a nine-seat sessions, the patient’s condition is greatly improved, panic attacks decreased as frequency and intensity. I have noticed in my patient’s evolution that depressive symptomatology has been reduced by reducing the anxiety symptoms. I told him that there might be panic attacks, but that this is irrelevant to the idea of reoccurrence of the anxiety disorder. It is good to interpret the possible panic attack as an event from which to learn something - to analyze it, to think about what it has caused.
