In turn, it affects their mental health, and hence the need for them to receive psychological treatment based on specific symptoms being experienced. The review has given consideration to the psychological treatments that are supported by empirical evidence. The psychological treatments included in this review include Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Meta-cognitive Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
