    Depressed people tend to have negative thoughts about themselves and the world. Their low mood can lead to withdrawal from social activities and people, which initially feels like relief but ultimately causes them to lose a sense of achievement, closeness, and feel overwhelmed and unmotivated as they dwell on more negative thoughts. Withdrawal may start with fun activities but can grow to include necessary daily routines as well.

    How low mood affects our

    thoughts

    • Depressed people tend to have negative thoughts


    about themselves, others or the world

    • For example; I am useless, a failure, hopeless,


    everything I do goes wrong

    • My friends/ family would be better off without me


    How low mood impacts on behaviour

    • Withdrawal – the less we do the worse we


    feel and the worse we feel, the less we do

    • Typically this begins with withdrawal from


    people and previously fun activities

    • Later it can extend to withdrawal from


    more necessary and routine activities
    How depression impacts on behaviour
    • Initially this withdrawal can feel like a relief

    • However, it means any fun, sense of


    achievement or closeness to others disappears

    • This can lead to:


    • Guilt • Send of inadequacy • Feeling overwhelmed

    • Lethargic • Unmotivated • Dwell on negative thoughts
