Computerised cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety (Review of Technology Appraisal 51)
NICE has made the following recommendations about the use of computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) to treat depression and anxiety. It recommends using:
- Beating the Blues for people with mild and moderate depression.
- FearFighter for people with panic and phobia.
There is not enough evidence to recommend COPE and Overcoming Depression for managing depression. But people can use them specifically as part of ongoing or new clinical trials.
OCFighter is not recommended for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder who are not already using it. People who are currently using OCFighter either:
- as part of their treatment, or
- as part of a clinical trial should have the option to continue with the treatment until they, their GP and/or specialist think it is right to stop.
This guidance replaces TA51 Depression and anxiety - computerised cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT).
The recommendations in this technology appraisal relating to the treatment of depression have been replaced by recommendations in the two Depression clinical guidelines (CG90 and CG91) published in October 2009. Note that the recommendations in this technology appraisal relating to the treatment of panic and phobia and obsessive compulsive disorder have not changed.
Additional funding information for this guidance can be found on the Department of Health website.
