Abstract

Depression is the leading mental health problem worldwide and there are many treatments used for it and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one that is widely used. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of CBT based on different characteristics of the treatment and compare it with other treatments via reviewing and integrating the results from past studies. This paper concluded that CBT is effective for both mild to moderate and severe depression and may be more effective for the former one. Internet-based CBT also works as effective as face-to-face CBT. Compared with other treatments, CBT possesses several unique advantages that made it popular for treating depression but also limitations that led to the fact that it is not the only way of treating depression. A combined treatment is preferred to yield better outcomes.
