How can cognitive therapy treat depression?

Dr. Missid Ghanem answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

See below...: Cognitive therapy is a treatment process that enables patients to correct false beliefs about self & others that can lead to negative moods and behaviors. Of course, something about the therapeutic relationship itself, i believe, adds to the healing process as well... In a way, healing happens while we're doing all the other things...
