Managing Depression

Depression is a very common and painful experience that affects about 1 in 5 people at some point in their lives. For some people, it is a recurrent experience. On this course you will learn a new set of skills that are proven to be effective in helping to manage or cure low mood.

By the end of the programme, you will:

• understand what depression is and how it is maintained
• understand the link between thoughts, physical symptoms, behaviour and mood
• be able to identify your own vicious cycle of depression
• be able to identify and challenge your own unhelpful negative thinking
• have learned about the importance of increasing activity
