All across the world, a terrible affliction is affecting millions of people from all walks of life. It has the potential to destroy lives in a number of ways, negatively affecting every aspect of the sufferer's existence. It is depression. Depression is not merely a low mood. It is a severe and damaging psychological condition that can cause a wide variety of harmful symptoms, ranging from isolation and low productivity to suicide. Depression affects individuals, families, workplaces, and communities, because no one lives in a vacuum. When a person suffers from severe depression, his or her moods, actions, or inaction can cause a ripple effect throughout the various social and professional circles. Depression also causes slow healing, low immune system functioning, and a variety of other, tangible, medical conditions that exacerbate serious physical health problems. Fortunately, there is a cure for depression and anxiety, and it has recently become more available than ever before. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has proven to be the most effective treatment for depression, anxiety, and stress, often completely curing patients of these problems within remarkably short periods of time. This safe, drug-free therapy involves analysis of the patient's thought patterns, examining the logical basis for recurring thoughts, or lack of logical basis. Through guided self-examination, sufferers of depression come to fully realize that their depression-inducing thoughts are related to baseless anxieties, worry about very unlikely future problems, or stress created because of blowing problems far out of proportion. This simple and highly effective approach to depression therapy has been adopted by psychiatric professionals all over the world, and it is now becoming more widely available through Computerized CBT, which is also known as CCBT.
Leading the initiative to popularize Computerised CBT is Dr. David Purves, operator of drpurves.com. Dr. Purves has been a practicing therapist for over 20 years, and a long-time practitioner of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. After years of successfully helping people to overcome their depression, stress, and anxiety, Dr. Purves chose to tackle a difficult problem. He realized that this world-changing therapy approach was not available to everyone. Some people around the world who deal with depression and anxiety do not have physical access to therapists who are trained in CBT. Others may not have the health insurance or the funding to afford such therapy. As a result, Dr. Purves created DrPurves.com, a comprehensive website with articles, commentary, video, and audio, and a program available to help any individual anywhere in the world who can access the internet to benefit from Computerized CBT. For a small fraction of the price that face-to-face therapy would cost, sufferers of depression can gain access to Dr. Purves' carefully planned home therapy program, which has proven to be highly effective. The concept of combining effective CBT techniques with the latest communications technology has obvious potential for saving millions, perhaps billions of people around the world, from the ravages of depression and anxiety, perhaps eventually stamping out these problems forever.
