Though originally meant for treating individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), this therapy has been modified to treat a host of other conditions concerning mental health. It is immensely helpful to people who sport self-destructive behaviours leading to eating disorders, substance abuse, and other conditions like PTSD.
DBT aims to change behavioural, personal, emotional, and intellectual patterns that may hinder their daily lives or those which they want to lead. The 4 general modules are followed up in DBT for any individual related to attention, emotion control, personal effectiveness, and tolerance of distress.
