DBT basics

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely. It’s a common therapy for people with borderline personality disorder, but therapists provide it for other mental health conditions as well.

DBT has proven to be effective for treating and managing a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

• Borderline personality disorder (BPD).

• Self-harm.

• Suicidal behavior.

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

• Substance use disorder.

• Eating disorders, specifically binge eating disorder and bulimia.

• Depression.

• Anxiety.
