Depression
Did you know…..
That in Depression is there a tendency to negative thinking, as the result of excessive abstraction and generalization?
Depressed people generalize negative events, and this leads to pessimistic anticipations and a great despair about the future. Depressed people think very negatively about themselves and the events that occur in their lives.
These patiens also do not have specific goals for their lives. They tend to think of abstract personal goals.
Several studies have also found that depressed adolescents have nonspecific personal goals, unlike adolescents who do not suffer from depression. But some studies have also shown that depressed young people can make up specific personal goals after conducting a successful psychotherapy treatment. In young people with depression, motivation, commitment and effort to achieve personal goals are very poor.
