Cognitive-behavioral treatment of depression is highly structural, practical and successful intervention which treats depression through finding out of behaviour and patterns of thoughts which cause depression. Interventions which are generally used in the treatment of depression involve planning of the chart of activities, prediction of joy and gradual tasks, training of social skills and assertiveness, consolidation, asking about and changing of negative automatic thoughts, assumptions and schemata, deduction and changing of plans, examination of disfunctional thoughts connected with despair. Some of techniques used in this case are: abdominal breathing, keeping a diary of activities with notes of programme of activity and mood in a week, planning of programme in a week: prediction of pleasure and achievements, self-observation of food taking in and making of plan for meals, psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, reduction of self-critic and increase of self-respect, then construction of affirmation and writing them down.
