I want to focus on these two papers for this posting which both talk about the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and its role in treating schizophrenia. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy in which the patient is given challenges to certain beliefs they have.Using changes in behavior and changes in the way people process certain ideas, a patient can try and understand the world differently.BT is not a replacement for medication but should if used should be used in conjunction with medications.

The salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine all produce digestive enzymes. These enzymes break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into the units they are made up ofâamino acids, sugars, and fatty acids.These tiny units are so small they can pass into the villi lining the intestine.ood is squirted from the stomach into the small intestine. Here it mixes with digestive juices from the liver and pancreas. Bile from the liver breaks up fat. Pancreatic juice neutralizes stomach acid and contains enzymes that digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Several different glands produce digestive enzymes. The salivary glands in your mouth produce and secrete saliva, which contains the digestive enzyme known as salivary amylase. As food progresses to the stomach, two additional enzymes aid in the process of digestion: pepsin and gastric amylase.The pancreas secretes the three digestive enzymes known as pancreatic amylase, pancreatic protease and pancreatic lipase.In contrast to these enzymes, the liver produces bile salts and releases the substance to the gall bladder, which stores bile until you eat a meal.everal different glands produce digestive enzymes.
