CBT & Anxiety Managment...the same?

[tattybear]

Hi all....

Just a quick question.

As you may know ive been suffering with depression / anxiety / OCD etc!

Ive been told by my phychiatrist to go to Anxiety managment courses through Mind.

Just wondered if this is the same as CBT? As my doctor originaly mentioned this to me.

Any input would be appreciated

I don't think it's the same Tatty but don't know how they differ - am sure someone else will though. Good luck with it!!

Anxiety management usually also encompasses things like Lifestyle changes, stress management skills with some emphasis on CBT, whereas pure CBT is just that - total emphasis on changing those thought patterns .
