Evidence-Based Therapy for Mood Disorders & Depression

Depression and mood disorders represent some of the most common manifestations of suffering and can greatly interfere with one’s emotional, cognitive, physiological, behavioral, and social functioning. 

Fortunately, evidence has shown CBT to be one of the most effective treatments to overcome these symptoms and regain a life of purpose and well-being.

What is CBT for Depression?

CBT for Depression is an active and structured form of therapy that involves learning to understand and ultimately change how patterns of thoughts/beliefs, feelings, and behaviors interact with one another. 

For example, research has shown that people who experience depression spend a significant amount of time and attention focused on their shortcomings. 

Learning to recognize an underlying process such as negative ruminations and implementing strategic responses in its place is a core component of CBT for Depression. 

The most common additional interventions for Depression include:

 

  • Behavioral Activation

  • Cognitive Restructuring

  • Mindfulness-Based Strategies

  • Compassion-Focused Training
