Factors that make the presenting problem better or worse should be explored. At times these may be desirable and inform subsequent treatment, for example a patient with low mood experiencing relief when they have been walking through the park. Not all factors giving temporary relief to a problem are helpful, however, and many play a role in maintaining the problem – for instance, a patient reporting their anxiety as significantly lower if they only walk the dogs during the evening (avoidance) or carrying a bottle of water in case they feel faint (safety behaviour).
