Behavioral Therapy for Depression

Behavioral therapy for depression focuses on identifying and changing negative patterns of behavior that contribute to depressive symptoms. By encouraging individuals to engage in positive activities, develop healthier routines, and gradually confront avoided situations, it helps improve mood and functioning. The therapy also emphasizes reinforcing existing strengths and building skills to manage stress and negative thoughts. Overall, it aims to create a supportive environment for behavioral change, leading to better mood and increased motivation, thereby reducing depression’s impact on daily life.
