"Patients suffering from either anxiety or depressive disorders are often treated with a CBT approach that focuses on cognitive restructuring. The aim of the intervention is to re-examine and manage beliefs about the event that the patient believes to cause anxiety or depression, and learn strategies that will reduce the impact of distress. For patients with anxiety disorders, a CBT strategy focuses on identifying the anxieties associated with the traumatic event, and learning new techniques to manage the anxiety in a safe and effective manner.\nThere is significant variability regarding treatment approaches for PTSD. For example, some groups have recommended a 'third wave' approach to PTSD treatment to emphasize acceptance and reintegration of survivors." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"In this review we demonstrate a safety profile of NMES and have concluded that the method is safe for people with complex needs. There were no reported side effects and no significant changes in vital parameters indicating risk of injury due to sensory effects.

Individuals who seek help early on, in a group setting, are much more likely to be able to achieve recovery." - Anonymous Online Contributor
