What Therapy addresses?
For example, depressed people often have thoughts like, "I'm a failure," "I can't do anything right," "I'll never succeed with anything I do," "No one cares about me," "I'll be alone forever," or similar thinking.
These thoughts are automatic can feel powerful and compelling, but usually do not tell a balanced, reasonable story and people who are depressed do not readily think to question their validity. These thoughts then effect how the person feels e.g. more depressed or anxious with a further effects on behaviour such as difficulty getting going or completing daily activities and the achievement of personal goals at home or at work. Lack of achievement then often lead to the person feeling even worse and more depressed.
