Specific forms of Depression: Clinical

Clinical depression: Depression ranges in seriousness from mild, temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Doctors use the term "clinical depression" to describe the more severe form of depression also known as "major depression" or "major depressive disorder."For a diagnosis of clinical depression, you must meet the symptom criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM is a guidebook used to diagnose mental illness in the United States.

Slide25

Learned

helplessnessLearned helplessness was discovered when researchers immobilized a dog and exposed it to electric shocks that could neither be avoided nor escaped. Twenty-four hours later, the dog was placed in a situation in which electric shock could be terminated by a simple response. The dog did not make this response; instead, it just sat passively. This behavior was in marked contrast to dogs in a control group that reacted vigorously to the shock and learned to turn it off.

Talking Therapies: CBT

 (CBT) helps you understand your thoughts and behaviour and how they affect you.CBT recognises that events in your past may have shaped you, but it concentrates mostly on how you can change the way you think, feel and behave in the present.It teaches you how to overcome negative thoughts, for example being able to challenge hopeless feelingsComputerised CBT is a form of CBT that works through a computer screen, rather than face to face with a therapist

Slide29

Talking Therapies:

CounsellingCounselling is a form of therapy that helps you think about the problems you are experiencing in your life to find new ways of dealing with them. Counsellors support you in finding solutions to problems, but do not tell you what to do.Counselling is available at LSE from the Student Counselling Service.See our website: It is also available on the NHS usually consists of six to 12 hour-long sessions. You talk in confidence to a counsellor. The counsellor supports you and offers practical advice.

Slide30

Talking Therapies:

Interpersonal Therapies (IPT)IPT focuses on your relationships with other people and on problems you may be having in your relationships, such as difficulties with communication or coping with bereavement.There's some evidence that IPT can be as effective as antidepressants or CBT, but more research is needed.
