Patients with kidney disease may experience mental health problems such as anxiety, sleep disorders due to the decline in physical health, work, family life and social life. This clinical study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of CBT in psychological intervention for patients with kidney disease. The study participant was a male client, diagnosed with left kidney atrophy. The client was clinically evaluated, and the results showed symptoms of panic attacks and illness anxiety. After the evaluation period, the client was treated with CBT with two phases of inpatient and outpatient treatment, including 14 outpatient intervention sessions. The results after the end of the intervention showed that the client had reduced symptoms of panic attacks and reduced symptoms of illness anxiety.
