How Depression Works - Beck's Cognitive Triad

When it comes to understanding depression there's not a lot of easy to access or easy to digest information out there. One of the most important concepts that I have ever learned about depression is Aaron Beck's Cognitive Triad.

Aaron Beck - who unfortunately recently passed away - is considered by many to be the father of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and within his work in this field he outlines Beck's Cognitive Triad.

The triad is a system of three categories of thoughts or belief that can lead to and keep a person suffering with depression. These are beliefs about themself, about the world and about the future.

Understanding Beck's triad and knowing how to counteract these beliefs is an extremely useful tool in combating depression.
