NICE has made the following recommendations about the use of computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CCBT) to treat depression and anxiety. It recommends using:

• Beating the Blues for people with mild and moderate depression.
• FearFighter for people with panic and phobia.

There is not enough evidence to recommend COPE and Overcoming Depression for managing depression. But people can use them specifically as part of ongoing or new clinical trials.

OCFighter is not recommended for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder who are not already using it. People who are currently using OCFighter either:

• as part of their treatment, or
• as part of a clinical trial should have the option to continue with the treatment until they, their GP and/or specialist think it is right to stop.
