The pandemic will have a significant impact upon the mental health of employees. It is very possible that these mental health implications will be felt for many months or even years. As early as two weeks into lockdown, employees were reporting a range of health effects including negative impacts on mental health and overall well-being.
Work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounts for 44% of work-related ill health
As well as sickness absence, poor mental health at work can lead to increased staff turnover and reduced engagement.

What it is?
(CBT) is a talking therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave to help treat anxiety and depression, and other mental and physical health problems.
How CBT works
Based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle. CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts, teaching you how to change these negative patterns to improve the way you feel.
Unlike some other talking treatments, CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from your past.
USES FOR CBT
EFFECTIVE way of treating a number of different mental health conditions.
In addition to depression or anxiety disorders, CBT can also help people with:
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Panic disorder
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Phobias
• Eating disorders
• sleep problems – insomnia
• Problems related to alcohol misuse
CBT is also sometimes used to treat people with long-term health conditions, such as:
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Although CBT can't cure the physical symptoms of these conditions, it can help people cope better with their symptoms.
What happens during CBT sessions
If CBT is recommended, you'll usually have a session with a therapist once a week or once every 2 weeks.
Recommended between 5 and 20 sessions, with each session lasting 30 to 60 minutes.
• Work with your therapist to break down your problems, such as your thoughts, physical feelings and actions.
• Analyse these areas to work out if they're unrealistic or unhelpful, and to determine the effect they have on each other and on you.
• Work out how to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
• Practise these changes in your daily life and you'll discuss how you got on during the next session.
The eventual aim of therapy is to teach you to apply the skills you have learnt during treatment to your daily life.
(CBT) can be as effective as medication in treating some mental health problems, but it may not be successful or suitable for everyone.
Some of the advantages of CBT include:
• Medication alone hasn't worked
• it can be completed in a relatively short period of time compared with other talking therapies
• Highly structured nature of CBT means it can be provided in different formats, including in groups, self-help books and apps
• Teaches useful and practical strategies that can be used in everyday life
Some of the disadvantages of CBT to consider include:
• You need to commit yourself to the process to get the most from it – a therapist can help and advise you, but they need your co-operation
• Attending regular CBT sessions and carrying out any extra work between sessions can take up a lot of your time
• It may not be suitable for people with more complex mental health needs or learning difficulties, as it requires structured sessions
• It involves confronting your emotions and anxieties – you may experience initial periods where you're anxious or emotionally uncomfortable
it focuses on the person's capacity to change themselves (their thoughts, feelings and behaviours)
Some critics also argue that because CBT only addresses current problems and focuses on specific issues, it doesn't address the possible underlying causes of mental health conditions, such as an unhappy childhood.y
CBT
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.
SYMPTOMS
• Increased sensitivity to pain
• Extreme tiredness
• Muscle stiffness
• Difficulty sleeping
• Memory and concentration
• Headaches
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
TREATMENT
Currently no cure but there are treatments to help relieve some of the symptoms and make the condition easier to live with.
• Medication
• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and counselling
• Lifestyle changes, such as exercise and relaxation
Exercise in particular has been found to have a number of important benefits for people with fibromyalgia, including helping to reduce pain.
What causes fibromyalgia?
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it's thought to be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain and changes in the way the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves) processes pain messages carried around the body.
• Genetics
• Physical or emotional stressful event, such as:
• Injury or infection
• Childbirth
• Breakdown of a relationship
• Death
Who's affected?
• 7 times as many women as men.
• Ages of 30 and 50
1 in 20 people may be affected but fibromyalgia can be a difficult condition to diagnose.

Veteran physician Sir Muir Gray has called on Health Secretary Matt Hancock to enlist the services of the fitness industry to help deliver NHS England’s new Universal Personalised Carestrategy.
In an open letter published in Health Club Management, Sir Muir welcomes the government's commitment to personalised care, and states that the fitness industry, with its "many thousands of trained professionals", is ideally placed to undertake a significant aspect of the Government's plan: that of appointing a thousand "link workers" to deliver lifestyle support to people in need of health interventions outside of pharmacies, hospitals and mental health services.
The letter continued: "The fifteen million people in the UK who suffer from long term conditions need the skills, enthusiasm and resources of the fitness industry – co-ordinated by ukactive – to realise your vision of universal social prescribing."
Sir Muir's intervention comes against the backdrop of what is being termed the third healthcare revolution – one in which there is a growing acceptance that activity can prevent many common diseases and transform their treatment.
"It's been agreed that the NHS needs to promote activity therapy alongside drug therapy, operative therapy and psychological therapy,” Sir Muir writes in HCM, arguing that activity should now be "prescribed like a drug", not simply as an instruction.
In closing, Sir Muir, who was knighted in 2005 for the development of the foetal, maternal and child screening programme and the creation of the National Library for Health, writes: "This offers the best opportunity we’ve had so far to link the NHS and the fitness world in a single therapeutic alliance, and we must work towards this goal with all possible haste to deliver on the Third Healthcare Revolution."
