Which therapy is best for depression

Condition analysis:
Whatever the therapy happens to be called, therapy for depression must incorporate the following elements:

A therapist who has an up-to-date and accurate clinical understanding of what depression is. (You can check this by learning yourself through the Depression Learning Path.

A therapy which is time-limited, active and focused on learning skills, not personality change.

There should be a significant improvement in symptoms within 6 sessions, and usually earlier.

There are well over 400 different types of psychotherapy on offer for clinical depression. This can be confusing to say the least.

Luckily, there has been more research into therapy for depression than any other problem, and we know exactly what works, and why.

Instructions:
Take On Small Responsibilities: Small responsibilities are important for depressed individuals. Big ones can be overwhelming, so start small with things like walking the dog or start writing a blog. Don’t force yourself to do something, because you will resent it. Make the action enjoyable and a fun activity.
