What is CBT?

We recently posted a question on our Facebook and Twitter accounts and the responses to that quiz piqued my interest. According to the results, many of our readers have heard of CBT but not many have actually tried it. That made me think that it might be useful to explain how CBT can help an individual - not just with mental health problems, but also in a variety of areas of your life.

Top 5 Barriers to Getting Help for Mental Health Problems

It's a staggering statistic: 1 in 4 adults living in America have a mental health problem, such as anxiety, social anxiety, or depression. Given this, it would be natural to expect that it would be relatively easy to get help for these mental health challenges. But, curiously, it's not.
