Why Quality Research Matters to Your Mental Health
How important is quality research and the term “evidence-based” to you when you Google information about your mental health?
While we might think twice before taking medication, we may not be as discerning about the mental health tips and advice we consume online. However, quality research is so important when looking for information on mental health.
What Does Evidence-Based Research Mean?
The term can be used to describe mental health information that is based on well-researched mechanisms and scientific understanding of:
- how humans think and behave,
- what causes someone to develop a mental health condition, and
- which psychological strategies are helpful to alleviate particular kinds of suffering.
It can also refer to psychological treatments, group therapies, and online programs which have been tested to check whether they actually achieve the desired results.
Quality Mental Health Research Matters to THIS WAY UP
The good news is that we are committed to developing and releasing high quality, evidence-based programs. These are informed by the latest scientific developments in the field of mental health.
We do this by using accepted scientific models of psychological symptoms and testing our treatment programs in clinical research trials. Because this allows us to make sure they achieve significant, measurable, and meaningful results for our patients and students.
Does this mean that we can guarantee our programs will help someone with a mental health difficulty?
Unfortunately not, because there are many different factors that affect recovery.
We can, however, confidently say that over 80% of individuals who complete our online treatment programs show significant improvements in their mental health!
And that is why quality research is so important. It allows you choose what is likely to actually help you get your mental health back on track.
