One of the best kept secrets in the treatment of mood and anxiety
disorders is the proven efficacy of a program of exercise, which
has many benefits on mood, but has yet to be widely adopted as a
therapeutic technique. This therapist guide provides guidance for
care providers who want to apply exercise-based interventions to
the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.
Research has shown that individuals who exercise regularly have
less stress, less anxiety, less depression, and less substance use
problems than those who don't. Studies have also shown that
exercise can help combat the effects of depression and anxiety.

and others may suffer from bothersome side effects. Whatever the
reason, weaning off anxiety medications can be extremely difficult.

discontinue their medication. This evidence-based treatment
incorporates the basic principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
(CBT), which is also effective for treating the underlying Panic
Disorder itself.

The book also provides worksheets and forms to help the patient reinforce skills and practices learned in therapy. It includes information about the details of living with bipolar disorder, gives advice on the best ways to avoid relapses, and teaches how to anticipate problems. Here then is a wealth of information on bipolar disorder partnered with effective strategies to reduce the likelihood of episodes of depression or mania and maximize the enjoyment of life.
It is well-established that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a
rich and effective tool for treating a range of anxiety and mood
disorders and behavioral disturbances. Most clinicians, however,
have not been formally trained in how to administer CBT, and
integrating one of the many available manuals detailing
week-by-week protocols into their individual clinical practices is
a daunting task. Whether brief interventions are desired for use in
medication visits or whether key elements of CBT are needed for use
in an eclectic treatment practice, clear instruction is needed on
how to improve patient outcomes by adapting key components of
cognitive-behavioral interventions.
