Thoughts of a depressed person Negative ideas about oneself I AM DEFECTIVE A person considers himself defective, inadequate, deprived. He explains his failures by his personal mental, physical and moral defects. I am convinced that it was his personal shortcomings that made him worthless and useless to anyone. Thoughts about himself: I am not capable of anything I am worthless I do not deserve happiness It would be better if I didn’t exist I am to blame for everything Negative ideas about the world THE WORLD IS HOSTILE A person in depression feels helpless, believes that the world around him is unsafe, places very high demands on him and this creates insurmountable obstacles on the way to the goal. Feels that there is too little pleasure and joy in the world. He sees communication with others as a source of trouble. Thoughts about the world Life is torture No one loves me No one needs me I have no strength to live Negative ideas about the future THE FUTURE IS HOPELESS A depressed person Sees in the future only a series of severe trials and suffering. Believes that for the rest of his life he will have to endure unbearable difficulties, disappointments and deprivations. Thinking about the upcoming task, he foresees inevitable failure. Thoughts about the future I will never cope with this It will never be good Everything is pointless Remember! Depression is treatable, some people benefit from pharmacology, some people benefit from psychotherapy, some people benefit from a combination.
