I was reading the local paper and came across an article on Depression and Anxiety.
They are introducing a new computer programme to help people with depression - called beating the blues. They say that it is to be made available in libraries in 2 local towns (Midsomer Norton and Keynsham - Near Bath).
The programme has been commissioned by Bath pct. People are referred by their doc or health worker.
It uses a form of CBT - A 15 min video and 8 one hour interactive sessions.
I know it is only being offered in a small area but thought it was interesting to see - will keep an eye out to see if they do it in my local area as this would be something I would like to try
Thanks for reading
