Treatments Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you understand the links between your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It helps you to overcome your low mood by challenging negative thoughts and beliefs. Behavioural Activation focuses on encouraging people to approach activities that they are avoiding. This helps refocus on future goals. Medication can also help; speak to your GP if you think this could help you.
