Came across an article in the Times earlier today talking about a new trend in self-help, the growing number of resources that offer free online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The one they highlighted is called MoodGYM. I've been playing with it tonight, and it's pretty neat. MoodGYM specifically helps to provide tools for people who suffer from depression and anxiety. As someone who has dealt with depression most of my adult life (and has had pretty bad luck with therapist), I always appreciate new ideas that can potentially help manage my condition without relying on meds. What I liked about the site was that it was very straightforward, practical and had minimal frills or magical thinking.
Check it out if you have a chance. I've been pretty impressed with what I've seen of it so far.
