Help Your Meds: Cognitive Skills Development was developed to continue the patient education offered by mental health hospitals. Time limitations prevent comprehensive skills development during a typical patient’s three to five-day hospital stay. For people attempting to manage symptoms of major depression and anxiety disorders, this workbook is a helpful tool for learning and using critical coping skills. Treatments and approaches included are: Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), relapse prevention, self esteem maintenance, boundary setting, healthy sleep planning, leisure skills inclusion, inner peace practice, and trauma healing. Through exercises and worksheets, readers evaluate how they function in seven life areas, then explore and apply therapeutic approaches to each area. Next they practice techniques to improve skills in addressing negative thoughts and emotions that drain energy and prevent living life to its fullest. Chapters contain books and web site references for continued learning and skill development. Step-by-step workbook flow for each therapeutic approach: --Real people stories of distress that limited function in their lives, --Therapeutic concept and approach descriptions, --Worksheets and exercises to practice each therapeutic concept and approach, and --Named resources for further exploration and study. Help Your Meds contains the patient’s perspective, a valuable point of view. The workbook can be an effective preparation aide for graduate students pursuing internships in mental health facilities.
