      Very interesting self-help technique. I need to read the results of this trial.

  • Beating the Blues® has been through independent randomised control trials.
    The results of these trials, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry1, demonstrate that Beating the Blues® is an effective
    treatment for depression and anxiety, and is better than GP treatment as usual.
    Patients using Beating the Blues® benefit from 30 additional depression
    free-days in the 6 months after treatment2.
    Patient satisfaction has been demonstrated in an open study when nine out of ten
    patients would recommend Beating the Blues® to others and over half found the
    programme better than other treatments they had previously received.

    Beating the Blues is a computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) programme for depression and anxiety. It has been shown to be a cost effective and time efficient way of helping people suffering from these conditions to get better and stay better.

    Depression Software Self Help Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    • Beating the Blues® is a clinically proven, drug - free treatment which integrates best practice in psychological therapies with advanced multimedia software. The programme was developed and evaluated by Ultrasis in collaboration with a research team from the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College, London. This team was led by Dr Judy Proudfoot and included Professor Sir David Goldberg, Professor Jeffrey Gray, Professor Isaac Marks and Professor Anthony Mann.



      Beating the Blues® is an 8-session, self help treatment designed for use by patients with no previous computer experience. During the 8-session programme users identify specific problems and realistic treatment goals. They work through cognitive modules which focus on the identification and challenge of automatic thoughts, thinking errors, distractions, core beliefs and attributional styles. Interwoven with these cognitive elements are problem directed behavioural components where patients can work on any two of activity scheduling, problem solving, graded exposure, task breakdown or sleep management according to their specific problems. The final module looks at action planning and relapse prevention.
