Many of these therapies aim to change the behaviours of the individual who may have worsening symptoms. ⋯ This project was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Technology Assessment programme and will be published in full in Health Technology Assessment; Vol. 24, No. 46.
