What is DBT?

DBT or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is a specialised, useful and time-tested method to treat various trauma-related mental disorders. It works exceedingly well in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, etc. DBT incorporates a philosophical process called dialectics. Dialectics is based on the concept that everything is composed of opposites and that change occurs when there is a "dialogue" between opposing forces. It is also useful to treat people experiencing difficulty with emotional regulation or exhibiting self-destructive behaviours and having thoughts of suicide.

How is it Different from CBT?

Although DBT & CBT are two form of psychotherapies or ‘Talk Therapies’ based on common concepts, there are a lot of differences between them. Dialectical behaviour therapy or DBT is based on CBT, with a greater focus on emotional and social aspects. DBT was developed to help people cope with extreme or unstable emotions and harmful behaviours. There are marked differences in terms of goals, philosophies, types of sessions and applications. Clinical research has shown that DBT is most effective for Borderline personality disorder, Eating disorders, Self-harm, Substance use disorders and Trauma.

What is the Importance of this Course?

Various studies indicate that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill-health and disability worldwide. In terms of quality years of life lost due to disability or death, China is ranked on top in the world followed by India and USA. As per WHO, certain mental disorders like Anxiety Disorders, including panic disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD), Phobias, Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD), Bipolar Disorder(BD), and other mood disorders, Eating Disorders, Personality Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) have been on the rise worldwide, especially due to #Covid19. Treatments are available, but nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional due to unawareness and social stigma. It is therefore important to spread the awareness of the mental disease and prevent its aggravation through timely intervention.
