Depression is a common disorder in psychiatric clinics. The most effective treatment for depression is not medication, but psychological, i.e. “awareness therapy”. The three principles of “cognitive therapy” are: 1. All your emotions are generated by your thoughts or perceptions, “What your current state of mind is, is how you feel.” 2, when you feel depressed, because your thoughts are completely controlled by “negative emotions”, the whole world seems to be under the shadow of darkness. You tend to believe that the truth is as bad as you think it is. 3, negative thoughts almost always with serious distortions, it is the only cause of almost all your suffering. When you feel frustrated, you can think analytically according to the following 10 aspects, you will find that you are fooling yourself: 1, the absolute thought. You see everything as clear-cut, as if a student who usually gets good grades occasionally got a “good”, so they think they are complete failures. This kind of thinking “will make you endlessly doubt yourself, no matter what you do, you will never pass.” 2. Overgeneralization. As a result of an unpleasant experience, you think in other things will also be the same bad luck. For example, a shy young man invited a girl for a date, and after being rejected, he said to himself, “I will never get a date, I will be alone and miserable for the rest of my life.” 3. Mental filtering. You see the negative side of things, the brain always think about it, as if wearing a special lens of glasses, all the positive things filtered. So you quickly conclude that everything is negative. 4. Self-contempt. See the many strengths of the best around, but some of their own aspirations are unable to achieve, and thus generate inferiority complex, always thinking that they can not. 5, arbitrary and indiscriminate conclusions. You envisage that others look down on you, but not to test the vision is correct or not, you look to the future, as much as the disaster. 6, zoom in and out. That is, the shortcomings of their own magnification, the advantages of narrowing, distorting the original face. 7, emotional inference. “I feel guilty, therefore I must have done something bad.” Your feelings seem to be the basis for the thought. 8. ought theory. “I should do this thing” or “I must do that thing” are thoughts that you feel guilty about, and they do not make you do something. 9. Wearing hats indiscriminately. If you choose and work for the purpose of failure, so you think: “I am a failure,” rather than thinking “I chose the wrong”. 10. Personalization. You think, “Whatever happens, whatever others do, it’s my fault.” There is always a “responsibility problem haunting you”. In response to the above, you can change your perception in this way: your feelings are not facts; you can deal with them; do not base your view of yourself on your achievements. If you like yourself more, you will feel better. Remember the following motto: You can save yourself so that God can save you.
