Cognition; It is thought or perception, It is what we think about events at any given time. Thoughts flow automatically and have an impact on how we feel. Our thoughts create our emotions. Many people experience terrible events, personal problems. Like other people, even those closest to us can be annoying and cruel. But our genes, our hormones, our childhood experiences determine how we think and how we feel. By fighting shoulder to shoulder on the same front, everyone returns home with a different psychology. An example; I was sipping my tea in the doctor's office in Kayseri, where I went for compulsory service years ago. Two doctor friends were talking passionately, one of them was talking about his boarding high school in a pained and tearful voice. “I spent a life with colorless and bad food among girls like a prison, with walls as high as prison walls, guards at the door like guards,” he cried. My mirror neurons are working too much, I'm sorry. “Which high school did you study in?” I asked, I was surprised when I said Izmir Girls' High School! It is my high school!... When I come to Izmir, no matter what vehicle I pass by, it is my high school that I look at with longing and longing in a way that makes me break my neck as I pass by. It is a historical building decorated with Atatürk's manuscripts, built with historical stones, with a floor covered with snow-white marble, and magnificent staircases like the entrance and interior stairs of the Dolmabahçe Palace on thick, strong and reliable columns. It is very beautiful with its wooden ceilings that fascinate the Japanese. It's still my high school that I run to in my dreams. While I was going to my hometown, Alaşehir, for my weekend leave, the lovely guard uncles said, "Zeynep, bring us some grapes, is that okay?" They said and released me to Izmir at the age of 14, I was a problem-free teenager and I was never punished. In fact, I have never even seen anyone around me who was punished and depressed. Izmir Girls' High School was established on a hill overlooking the sea. Strong retaining walls rising up from the wide road below prevent stones and soil from spilling onto the road. In front of Izmir Girls' High School, not even an inch of the walls obstruct your view. The view was beautiful as we watched the sunset over the Aegean Sea and sipped our tea after class in the evenings. In the 1980s, it was among the top 3 high schools in Izmir and ranked 1st for girls. Elegant valuable teachers with laboratories available for each lesson It was a dream school for many girls from Izmir.
In CBT, you can change the way we think about things, even your basic values and beliefs, and when you do this, you can constantly change your emotional state, your vision, and your productivity.
< br /> CBT for depression or panic? medicine? It is as unnecessary as saying it's the chicken or the egg, or the chicken or the egg. Depression needs antidepressants as much as a painkiller is needed for a rotten, aching tooth. Just as saying "brush your teeth, floss, take cave durtamine" is an inadequate response to tooth decay, gum recession, and tooth loss, saying "not giving or taking medication for psychological depression, severe and moderate depression, and panic attacks" and just taking CBT is the same. is insufficient. In mild depression, if there is no genetic burden and medical reasons predisposing to depression, and if psychosocial stressors and cognitive distortions are high, CBT alone can be applied. If the differential diagnosis that panic attack is a symptom of panic disorder, schizophrenia and paranoia is not made, if substance addiction, withdrawal, medical diseases (hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma) and brain diseases that may cause panic are not investigated, the mistake made by the psychologist and psychiatrist will not only lead to late treatment, but sometimes CBT for 6 months. or brain surgeons deal with brain tumors that have been treated with pharmacotherapy. Psychiatrists or therapists are not competitors, they are team members who must put their egos aside and work together in a conciliatory manner.
CBT is a psychotherapy method applied to treat depression and prevent its recurrence. It is meaningless to call CBT a Class 1 or Class 2 treatment method.
Depression; It occurs as a result of changes in brain biochemistry. CBT changes the biochemistry of the brain. This has been shown in brain imaging PET. Our biological structure changes due to environmental reasons. For example; When the baby's back is patted, growth hormone is secreted. Human beings are biological, psychological, social, cultural and sexual beings.
It has also been successfully applied at borderline.
