Beating the Blues®
What is the Evidence?
Beating the Blues® has been through independent clinical randomised control trials. The results of these trials, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, demonstrate that Beating the Blues® is an effective treatment for anxiety and depression, and is better than GP treatment as usual.
People using Beating the Blues® benefit from 30 additional depression free-days in the 6 months after treatment. 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.
You can find out more about why The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommended that Beating the Blues® should be made available in the NHS by reading the summary of their evidence at NICE.
