Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Illness

Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Illness

Cognitive therapy is an effective treatment for managing chronic illness by helping individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviors that can exacerbate symptoms. By identifying and challenging these patterns, patients can improve their quality of life.

Key components of cognitive therapy for chronic illness include psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and behavioral activation. By addressing maladaptive beliefs and behaviors, patients can develop healthier coping strategies and improve their overall well-being.
