A Look At Depression Exercises Online

By Edward Price


There are a number of self help programs available that have helped many people. This type of therapy is not always the best resource for everyone. Some people have had positive outcomes from using depression exercises online. Studies find these therapies can help avert or postpone some major problems with depression among those at risk. Many programs can be accessed on the web. However, it is best to do some research to choose one that has successful results in the prevention of depression.

The web programs that deal with mental health problems can sometimes be as successful as the face to face sessions with a therapist. There are some advantages to using web based self help programs. One example is the cost of the program. In addition, the sessions can be customized to the needs of the individual, and sessions are available at any time day or night.

Bear in mind that web based therapy is far from a universal remedy. More studies are necessary to evaluate the value of web based programs on prevention. Online programs are very similar to in person sessions. As an example, folks are asked to take part in exercises for CBT or cognitive behavior therapy and problem solving.

Using the web based CBT program, participants are asked to identify positive activities they once took part in and arrange to take part in again. In the next session the person is instructed to review the experience. When the person incorporates activities they once took part in regularly, positive actions result in elimination of negative thoughts. Behavior and mood is positively changed. Problem solving sessions will also have the same results.

During sessions for problem solving, participants are encouraged to list the things they consider to be most important. The are directed to determine how to include them in their daily lives. Next, they are asked to categorize problems and worries they have by listing which are manageable and which unmanageable. The focus is on talking those problems that are manageable.

The web based sessions may be repeated as many times the individual needs. There is no research showing the long term effects of this kind of intervention. Also, studies have not shown clear suggestion regarding the level in which therapy is able to be increased. Some study results indicate that unguided sessions had low completion rates. This is likely because those suffering with depression often have difficulty getting and remaining motivated to complete tasks.

Further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of unguided web based therapy on prevention of depressive disorders. It should be noted that there are many professionals who are pleased with the results so far. Also, internet therapy can help those who may be reluctant to get help for mental health issues.

The person who is looking for help getting their life back on track and getting rid of mild depression symptoms, can find success with web based therapy. On the other hand, this type of therapy may prove unsuccessful in someone who is severely depressed. If you are considering web based therapy be sure to research and investigate the options available.
