Abstract

Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects many people's moods, thoughts, and behaviors worldwide. Due to its widespread nature, it's important to have effective treatment options available. One of the most recognized treatments for depression is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, known as CBT. This therapy was created by Aaron Beck in the 1960s and is based on the idea that a person's thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked. It emphasizes that negative thinking patterns can contribute to the symptoms of depression. Therefore, addressing these distorted thoughts is essential for reducing depressive symptoms. CBT is supported by research and is widely used to help individuals manage and improve their mental health.
