"Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living"(Mayo Clinic, 2025).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment used to change negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The use of the cognitive triangle, a tool of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps to change negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for positive ones (Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges, 2025).
