Take the next step to feeling better
Get started

An important part of anyone’s mental healing is having access to the right resources at the right time. We grow by connecting, by being supported, by learning, and by putting what we learn into practice.

As a way to connect Cerebral members with life-changing (and moment-changing) resources, we’re excited to launch Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) exercises in the Cerebral mobile app and website (Apple; Android).

Now, Cerebral members get full access to CBT lessons, practical exercises, guided audio relaxation sessions, journaling, and a whole lot more. This all comes at no additional cost and is available to members today!

One of the most critical parts of improving your mental health is that you actively work on it between sessions, since your therapist or counselor can’t always be there. Studies have shown that internet-based CBT exercises can reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia, especially when combined with support from a mental health professional*.

What is CBT?

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy that places an emphasis on the connection between your thoughts and memories (cognition) and your emotions and feelings (behavior). 

With CBT, you can recognize how to change negative, automatic thought patterns or beliefs that impact your behavior and emotions. 

There’s a whole lot more to it than that, though. So download the app today to dive in!

What’s included in the CBT feature?

In short, quite a lot! But here are some highlights:

  • Lessons for discovering how CBT can help with depression, anxiety, and insomnia
  • Interactive worksheets that put CBT into action and help you explore your thoughts and behaviors
  • Information and exercises on grounding techniques
  • Calming and relaxing guided meditations
  • Tips on using journaling, thought records and other techniques to understand yourself

How do I start?

If you’re a member, download or relaunch the Cerebral app and find the exercises in the bottom navigation tab. If you’re accessing Cerebral from a browser instead, click the three horizontal lines at the top of the page to find the exercises.

If you aren't a member yet, sign up today!

NOTE: Your therapist may tailor your therapy by assigning you specific exercises over time. If they do, we’ll send you a notification!

Online Medication Plans: Your Rx for a Healthier You
Mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance misuse, can take a heavy toll. Mental health services can help in providing relief, but making time to see a professional isn’t always easy— particularly for those who live far away from a doctor's office or have busy schedules. The solution: online mental health treatment.  Online mental health treatment offers a convenient and accessible way to get a recommended treatment plan by working with a licensed prescriber remotely. To start, you may be asked to complete a questionnaire to share your symptoms and medical history. You may also need to schedule a video consultation with a medication prescriber or other healthcare provider. During the consultation, the prescriber will discuss your symptoms and treatment options with you.  In this article, we'll dive into how online treatment plans can provide the tools you need to lead the life you want.   Addressing depression and anxiety Depression and anxiety are two common mental health disorders, affecting people of all ages. While there is no one-size-fits-all treatment for either condition, medication can be an effective way to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Telehealth offers a holistic approach, incorporating therapy sessions and medication management. The virtual nature of telehealth plans eliminates barriers like transportation and scheduling conflicts, making consistent care more achievable. Several different medications can be prescribed for depression and anxiety. Some common medications include: Antidepressants: Antidepressants work by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. These neurotransmitters are thought to play a role in mood regulation and emotions. A few common antidepressants include: Citalopram (Celexa) Escitalopram (Lexapro) Fluoxetine (Prozac) Sertraline (Zoloft) Amitriptyline (Elavil) Bupropion (Wellbutrin) Trazodone (Desyrel) Mirtazapine (Remeron) Vortioxetine (Trintellix)  Duloxetine (Cymbalta) Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq) Venlafaxine (Effexor) Anti-anxiety medications: Anti-anxiety medications can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, such as worry, restlessness, and physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate and sweating. A few common anti-anxiety medications include: Buspirone (Buspar) Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) Navigating PTSD and stressful life events Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the aftermath of stressful life events can create a profound impact on an individual's emotional well-being, often leading to debilitating symptoms that affect daily life. Telehealth treatment plans recognize the sensitivity of these experiences and offer a safe and confidential space for individuals to openly discuss their traumas. This level of comfort is particularly crucial for those hesitant to seek help in traditional settings, where the stigma surrounding mental health may act as a deterrent.  A prescriber may recommend antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or other pharmaceuticals to complement therapy sessions. The prescriber collaborates closely with patients to fine-tune medication plans based on their unique needs and responses. This personalized approach ensures that the medication component of the treatment plan is not only effective but also mindful of individual sensitivities and preferences. Tackling mood disorders Individuals grappling with severe mood swings can benefit from the convenience of virtual check-ins, providing regular opportunities to discuss their symptoms with healthcare professionals. This ongoing dialogue allows for timely adjustments to medication dosages or types, allowing treatment to evolve in response to the individual's needs.  Some commonly prescribed medications to help manage mood disorders include:  Mood stabilizers Divalproex sodium (Depakote)  Carbamazepine (Tegretol) Lamotrigine (Lamictal)  Quetiapine (Seroquel) Lurasidone (Latuda) Valproate (Depakote) Overcoming sleep trouble Sleep troubles, a common companion to mental health challenges, establish a detrimental cycle of fatigue and emotional instability. Medication can help regulate sleep patterns and give relief to sufferers. Virtual sessions facilitate regular monitoring and adjustments, ensuring that individuals receive tailored support to escape the grip of sleep-related challenges. Doxepin (Silenor) is an FDA-approved medication commonly prescribed for sleep troubles. This pharmacological intervention is complemented by therapy sessions that delve into the underlying causes of insomnia or other sleep disorders. By addressing both the symptoms and root causes, telehealth treatment plans offer a holistic approach to promoting restful sleep and improved emotional resilience.  Mitigating ADHD-related focus and concentration issues ADHD-related focus and concentration issues can affect one’s productivity and overall well-being. With a telehealth treatment plan, a prescriber may recommend medications that can enhance cognitive function, promoting improved focus and concentration levels.  Here are some examples of medications commonly used to improve focus and concentration: Atomoxetine (Strattera) Guanfacine (Intuniv)  Clonidine (Kapvay) Bupropion (Wellbutrin) Simultaneously, therapy sessions play a key role in identifying and addressing the underlying issues contributing to difficulties concentrating, such as stress, anxiety, or attention-related disorders. The combination of medication and therapeutic support within the online framework ensures a comprehensive approach to bolstering cognitive abilities.  Confronting substance and alcohol abuse Addressing substance and alcohol misuse demands a comprehensive strategy, and online medication plans prove to be instrumental in this multifaceted approach. Medications used for substance and alcohol abuse aim to assist individuals in managing cravings, reducing withdrawal symptoms, and supporting them in maintaining sobriety.  Here are some medications commonly prescribed for substance and alcohol misuse treatment: Disulfiram (Antabuse) Naltrexone (Revia, Vivitrol) Acamprosate (Campral) Combining medication with therapeutic support provides a holistic approach to individuals seeking to overcome the hurdles of substance and alcohol abuse, fostering a pathway toward lasting recovery.

Introducing Cerebral Way: Your Personalized Path to Feeling Better
Navigating mental health can be difficult, and understanding the benefits and differences between online mental health providers can add an additional layer of confusion to the process.  So we’ve introduced Cerebral Way: results-oriented care that puts you first with personalized plans and clear goals for your mental health.  How is Cerebral Way different? Most online mental health services simply match you with a clinician and hope you’ll stay on their plans without any goals or end-points in sight. Cerebral Way recognizes you as an active participant in your mental health care. We’ve developed a program with your goals and milestones at the center, so you can track your progress and know what to expect along the way.  A collaborative approach Cerebral Way has struck an important balance between consistent care with high standards for all of our clients. Our clinicians take your goals, needs, and life experiences into account so you get a personalized plan for treatment. This collaborative approach means you’ll always know what to expect along your way to mental wellness.  When you work with any of our high-quality clinicians, you’ll know they’re upholding Cerebral standards to shape your path forward. How it works  1. We'll get to know each other Your journey with Cerebral begins with a personalized intake session. During this session, you'll share your story (as much as you're comfortable sharing) with a Cerebral clinician who specializes in your specific needs. The focus is on understanding you: your experiences, goals, and challenges. If you opt for a medication plan, your clinician may arrive at a diagnosis and prescribe medication if it’s appropriate.  There are a few administrative points in this session as well: confirming your identity and making sure you have the app are two examples. This only happens in the first session.  After this session you can decide whether you’d like to continue with your clinician or start with a new one. Cerebral makes it easy for you to switch any time.  2. You'll get a personalized plan Now that they’ve gotten to know you, your clinician will craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, and you’ll set goals together. This is a roadmap for your mental health journey, complete with milestones and check-ins with your therapist and/or prescriber. If you were prescribed medication at your intake session, this second session is when you’ll discuss how you’re doing with the medication and its dosage, if you’re experiencing any side effects, and any other general questions you might have.   3. Keep track of your progress  At this point in therapy, you’ll begin regular check-ins to see how you’re feeling about your progress. After 90 days of weekly appointments, you can reevaluate your level of support, and decide whether to continue with therapy, discontinue, or move to less frequent sessions. If you’re on a medication plan, you’ll have access to on-call clinicians who can help with dosage and refills between less frequent prescriber check-ins. You can also get your medication shipped directly to your door with CerebralRx. If you’re on a Therapy + Medication plan, your clinicians will coordinate with each other so your care will feel streamlined — you won’t have to repeat yourself in separate sessions.  How Cerebral Way helps Cerebral Way helps with virtually anything you’re struggling with, from general life stress to pre-diagnosed conditions.  In addition to specialized care, other benefits of Cerebral Way include: Completely personalized care With Cerebral Way, you're not just a name or diagnosis. Your clinician understands your specific needs, goals, and experiences, shaping a path forward that is unique to you. You're always in control If you find that you're not making the progress you’d like to see with your therapist or prescriber, you have the flexibility to switch to a new one at any time. Consistent, quality care All Cerebral clinicians are thoroughly vetted, credentialed, and trained to provide the highest level of care. Licensed professionals are available to address any questions or concerns between your regular appointments. Clear destinations Your clinician will review your goals and milestones with you, ensuring that you always know what to expect during the course of your treatment. An evidence-based approach Cerebral clinicians stay up to date on the latest studies and breakthroughs, ensuring that the care you receive is based on rigorous research. Clinically proven results Cerebral clients are three times more likely to report feeling better after two months of following their therapy or medication plans. The service has consistently demonstrated meaningful improvements in clients' mental well-being. Cerebral Way is not just a mental health service – we’re invested in your progress and your partner toward a healthier and happier life.

Why Can’t We Talk About Suicide? 
Despite Medical Progress, Suicide Remains Difficult to Treat Even as medical care has progressed, one leading cause of death remains tragically high suicide. Despite persistent research over the past decades, suicide rates have only increased , and self-harm remains stigmatized for families and among caregivers.  In some ways, suicide is among the last of the medical taboos, and that makes sense: doctors don’t like to talk about ailments they can do little about. Even at the best hospitals in the world, psychiatrists fail to predict whether a depressed patient will take their own life after leaving the hospital. Studies show that they have just over a 50 percent probability of making an accurate assessment. Ineffective prognosis and treatments make medical professionals reluctant to take on these difficult cases, leaving patients and families even more isolated. A 2019 study found that willingness to treat was significantly lower and the likelihood of referring out was significantly higher among therapists for suicidal patients.”  To make matters worse, medications intended to alleviate depression and other mental health conditions can take weeks to take effect, leaving some patients especially vulnerable as they await the onset of effect. Overcoming Stigma and Developing Proactive Treatment We can and must do better. Suicide is a national emergency. Every 11 minutes in the United States, someone takes their own life, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and suicide rates increased 30 percent between 2010 and 2018. In 2020, suicide was the second leading cause of death for Americans aged 10 to 14 and 25 to 34. Rates of suicidal thinking are even higher. The CDC estimates that in 2020, 12.2 million adults seriously considered suicide and 1.2 million actually tried to take their own life.    Given the pervasiveness of suicidal ideation in the United States, mental health providers must adjust how we treat and think about suicide. In order to help these patients, we have to dismantle the stigma around talking about suicide. This starts with consistent screening for depression during routine physical exams. Removing stigmas starts with the clinician. If clinicians initiate the conversation, patients may feel more comfortable discussing topics they may have otherwise been too nervous to bring up.        In addition to clinicians, our medical system must broadly establish consistent screening for depression just as it’s done for blood pressure, high cholesterol, as well as much more intensive diagnostics like endoscopies and colonoscopies. Depression should be among the first things physicians and nurses ask about during physical exams - and yet often, it's the last. In fact, a panel of medical experts recently recommended anxiety screening for all adults under 65.        Fifty years ago, the diagnosis of cancer was similarly stigmatized, for the same reason that clinicians were not well-equipped to manage these conditions. The advent of new treatments, better outcomes, and advocacy efforts by medical professionals and patients alike changed perceptions about cancer completely. We can similarly change how we as a society think about suicide through a concerted effort to develop better treatments, improve outcomes, and increase awareness and acceptance.         In particular, telehealth offers a much-needed resource to address the current situation by providing access for patients who haven’t been able to seek mental health care in the past, were excluded in underserved communities, or didn’t feel comfortable seeking care. New Approaches Offer Promise As a first step in improving clinical care and outcomes, we need better measures of treatment for suicidal patients, something that is sorely lacking today. Better data, consistent measurement, and more widespread benchmarks would be a helpful first step. Then, we need to develop interventions that can decrease suicidal thinking.      Some developments are promising. New research indicates that even brief regular contacts with patients experiencing severe depression through post-cards, text messages, emails, phone calls or other communication can decrease suicidal ideation.        This approach helped inspire a new paper that I co-authored with colleagues at Harvard on Bibliotherapy. After suicidal patients read brief, first-person narratives about coping with suicidal ideation written by other people who overcame suicidal thinking, the readers themselves experienced lower rates of suicidal thinking. Bibliotherapy is cost-efficient, easy to scale, and a method of treatment Cerebral intends to launch in the next few months. How Cerebral is Making A Difference At Cerebral, we understand just how prevalent suicide is and how difficult it is to treat. And we are committed to taking on the toughest cases and making a real difference for suicidal patients and their families and utilize a comprehensive treatment plan.       Our organizational structure includes a comprehensive Clinical Safety department that includes crisis specialists, psychiatrists, and data scientists. With this crisis response capability in place, our goal is to make sure no one is neglected by the mental health care system and everyone receives consistent, measurable and high-touch interaction.      Cerebral’s data-driven approach is instrumental in improving clinical safety. Each day, Cerebral receives 5,000 to 10,000 patient messages via a chat system available on our website or mobile app. We are using machine-learning to analyze these messages, and we can correctly detect messages with suicidal content with 97% accuracy, and reach out to these patients within minutes.  This system can also serve as a way to connect with patients regularly and keep them close touch with their care team, as each patient message is reviewed and addressed by our patient support team.         Conclusion As the new research indicates, there are reasons to believe we can make progress in combating the scourge of suicide. As a psychiatrist and CEO of Cerebral, I have seen the devastating impact suicide has on individuals and their families firsthand. During medical training, medical students typically wore short white coats while more senior doctors were clad in longer ones, symbolizing that they had already completed the process of learning. At Massachusetts General Hospital, where I trained, all doctors wore short coats to emphasize that real learning never ends. We always practice medicine; we do not perfect medicine. That is the mentality which I bring to Cerebral. In order to improve care for our most vulnerable patients, we need to remain humble, data-driven, and committed to becoming life-long students of medicine. Too much is at stake for us not to try.  Resources: Suicide and Suicidal Behavior Prediction of Suicide Attempts Using Clinician Assessment, Patient Self-report, and Electronic Health Records | Electronic Health Records | JAMA Network Open | JAMA Network  To Treat or Not to Treat: The Effect of Hypothetical Patients’ Suicidal Severity on Therapists’ Willingness to Treat  Facts About Suicide | Suicide | CDC Advancing the Understanding of Suicide: The Need for Formal Theory and Rigorous Descriptive Research Taking care of suicidal patients with new technologies and reaching-out means in the post-discharge period
