CBT helps you build awareness around and alter thinking patterns and subsequent behavioral patterns that are contributing to depressive symptoms.
Cognitive therapy can be an effective way to defuse those thoughts. When used for depression, cognitive therapy provides a mental tool kit that can be used to challenge negative thoughts. Over the long term, cognitive therapy for depression can change the way a depressed person sees the world.
