This chapter reveals the important perspectives on mental health, mental illness, and technology utilization; mental health education and mental health nursing; the overview of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); CBT, depression, anxiety, and insomnia; CBT and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD); and CBT and heart failure. Mental health strengthens the individuals' ability to have healthy relationships; make good life choices; maintain physical health and well-being; handle the natural ups and downs of life; and grow toward individuals' potential. Mental health is associated with higher productivity, better performance, more consistent work attendance, and fewer workplace accidents. CBT is a goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a practical approach to problem-solving skills. CBT involves recognizing the unhelpful or destructive patterns of thinking and reacting, thus modifying or replacing these patterns with more realistic or helpful ones.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth exist in a developmental context of emerging and shifting identities. This chapter reviews the mental health disparities experienced by LGBT youth. It examines their experiences of minority stress and considers the impact of their family and peer relationships on their identities. Also included is a discussion of affirmative cognitive–behavioral therapy (A-CBT) for LGBT youth, containing detailed clinical examples. The chapter concludes with emerging trends for evidence-based mental health practice with LGBT youth, such as a focus on resilience and the use of information and communication technologies.
